Rabbi’s Murder in UAE: Israel Vows Justice Amidst Controversy
Israeli-Moldovan Rabbi Zvi Kogan, who ran a kosher grocery store in Dubai, was found murdered in what Israel declared a heinous antisemitic terror attack. The Israeli government vowed to pursue justice for Kogan’s death, though details surrounding the killing remain scarce. Tensions in the region, fueled by recent conflicts and Iran’s involvement, are cited as a potential contributing factor, prompting Israel to warn its citizens against non-essential travel to the UAE. The Emirati government acknowledged Kogan’s disappearance but offered no comment on the Israeli designation of the death as a terrorist attack.
