Zvi Kogan, a 28-year-old Israeli-Moldovan rabbi, was found murdered in Dubai after going missing on Thursday. Israeli officials condemned the act as a 'heinous antisemitic terror incident' and vowed to seek justice. The UAE government has initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
Kogan, who managed a kosher grocery store in Dubai, went missing amid rising tensions in the region following the Israel-Hamas conflict. His disappearance and subsequent murder have raised concerns about the safety of the Jewish community in the UAE, which has grown since the 2020 Abraham Accords.
