The United Arab Emirates have arrested 3 people in connection with the death of Zvi Kogan, who was murdered in an antisemitic act of terror.

Kogan held Moldovan citizenship, and is associated with Chabad, a religious movement of Hasidic Jews with communities. He has been missing since last Thursday afternoon. The UAE interior ministry had discovered his body and arrested three people in connection with his murder. No names were given, but they said they started all necessary legal procedures and that more details would follow.

PM Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that Israel would 'use all means at its disposal to bring the murderers of Kogan and those who sent them to justice.'

He extended his heartfelt condolences to the Kogan family, and said 'the murder of an Israeli citizen and Chabad emissary is a heinous, antisemitic act of terror'.

The White House said:

Kogan’s murder was “a horrific crime against all those who stand for peace, tolerance, and coesistence.”


“It was an assault as well on the UAE and its rejection of violent extremism across the board,” White House National Security Council spokesperson Sean Savett said.


“The United States is working in close coordination with Israeli and UAE authorities, and we have offered all appropriate forms of support,” Savett added.
