Pakistan and EU share "concern over serious violations of the ceasefire" Pakistan says

Pakistan's government said the country's top diplomat spoke Thursday in a phone call with his European Union counterpart and that both voiced their "concern over serious violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon."

Both Iran and Pakistan, which brokered the ceasefire President Trump said his administration had agreed to on Tuesday night, say the deal included a cessation of all U.S. and Israeli military action against Iran and its allies, including Hezbollah in Lebanon. 

The White House and Israel's government say Israel's ongoing war in Lebanon was never part of the agreement.

According to the readout of the call from the Pakistani Foreign Ministry, Minister and Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas stressed the importance of the conditional U.S.-Iran ceasefire's "full implementation."  

In a social media post, Kallas said separately that "Hezbollah dragged Lebanon into the war, but Israel's right to defend itself does not justify inflicting such massive destruction. Israeli strikes killed hundreds last night, making it hard to argue that such heavy-handed actions fall within self-defense."

The EU diplomat said Israel's actions were putting the ceasefire "under severe strain" and that the agreement "should extend to Lebanon."
