“The murder of the late Chabad emissary Zvi Kogan in the Emirates is a cowardly and despicable antisemitic act of terror,” Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said on social media after Kogan’s body was discovered. “The State of Israel will not rest nor be silent until those responsible for this criminal act pay for their actions.”

Zvi Kogan, 28, an ultra-Orthodox rabbi who went missing on Thursday, ran a Kosher grocery store in the futuristic city of Dubai.

Zvi Kogan was targeted in an “act of antisemitic terrorism,” Israeli authorities said.

Israel announced that United Arab Emirates authorities found the body of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, condemning his disappearance and death as "antisemitic terrorism."
