An Israeli citizen missing in the the United Arab Emirates has been found dead, Israeli authorities said on Sunday, in what they described as an “antisemitic terrorist act.”
Zvi Kogan, an Israeli-Moldovan citizen and representative of Chabad, a religious movement of Hasidic Jews with communities, synagogues and other institutions in many countries, had been missing since Thursday afternoon. In a joint statement Sunday, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Kogan’s body had been located by UAE authorities. “The murder of Tzvi Kogan, of blessed memory, is a heinous antisemitic terrorist act.
The State of Israel will use all means at its disposal to bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice,” the statement said. CNN has contacted the UAE government for comment. Earlier, the PMO said that Israel’s National Security Agency had previously recommended Israeli citizens avoid unnecessary travel to the UAE.
