Israel says a rabbi who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been murdered.
Zvi Kogan, an envoy of the Orthodox Jewish organisation Chabad, had been missing since Thursday, the Israeli prime minister’s office said, sparking a investigation from Israeli intelligence agency Mossad and UAE authorities.
“The murder of Zvi Kogan is a criminal anti-Semitic 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 in a statement.
Israeli officials have been in contact with the family of Mr Kogan, an Israeli-Moldovan national, since he went missing, the statement continued.
