Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai criticized European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas after she suggested dialogue rather than airstrikes as the solution to Pakistan-Afghanistan tensions. Karzai argued that Afghanistan has been victimized by Pakistani-supported terrorism and called on the EU to recognize this reality. His remarks follow Kallas's joint statement with Pakistan's foreign minister in Islamabad on June 1, where she said Pakistan had the right to defend itself. Social media users and analysts disputed Kallas's characterization, pointing to UNAMA documentation of over 700 civilian casualties from Pakistani strikes, including attacks on a Kabul drug rehabilitation center.
