Israel says a rabbi who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been murdered, and have vowed to track down his killers.
“The murder of Zvi Kogan is a criminal antisemitic terrorist incident. The State of Israel will act in all of its abilities to bring to justice the criminals responsible for his death,” the PM’s office said following news on Sunday that the rabbi’s body had been found.
Rabbi Kogan, an envoy of the orthodox Jewish organisation Chabad, had been missing in Dubai since Thursday sparking a investigation from Israeli intelligence agency Mossad and UAE authorities.
Israeli officials have been in contact with the family of the Israeli-Moldovan national, since he went missing, the Israeli statement continued.
