UAE Arrests Three in Murder of Rabbi Kogan

The United Arab Emirates has arrested three suspects in connection with the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, an Israeli Moldovan national and Chabad Lubavitch emissary, whose body was discovered after he was reported missing. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the incident as an 'abhorrent act of antisemitic terrorism' and called for justice against those responsible. The UAE Ministry of Interior stated that the arrests were made in record time and emphasized its commitment to maintaining social harmony and public security. Concerns have been raised regarding the safety of Israeli citizens in the UAE, prompting advisories to avoid displaying Israeli symbols and non-essential travel. Kogan was known for his outreach efforts and served as an aide to the UAE's Chief Rabbi. Investigations are ongoing, with details about the circumstances of the murder yet to be disclosed.
