Israeli Rabbi Found Dead in UAE, Authorities Arrest Three Suspects
The body of missing Chabad rabbi Zvi Kogan has been discovered in the United Arab Emirates, prompting outrage from Israeli officials who have labeled the incident a heinous act of antisemitic terrorism. In response to the murder, the UAE has arrested three Uzbek nationals as suspects. The tragic news comes after family members expressed worries over his safety prior to his relocation to the region. Both Israeli leaders and U.S. officials condemned the act, describing it as a horrific crime against peace. The continuing rise of antisemitism in the Gulf has put strains on the Abraham Accords, with this incident serving as a stark reminder of the challenges that lie ahead.
