Rabbi Zvi Kogan, an emissary to Abu Dhabi’s Chabad chapter, has been missing since Thursday, and Israel’s security services reportedly fear he was kidnapped or murdered, it emerged Saturday.

The Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement confirming Kogan’s disappearance and said authorities were treating the incident as a suspected act of terrorism.

The PMO added that the Mossad intelligence agency had launched an “extensive” investigation into the incident alongside Emirati authorities.

At the same time, the National Security Council issued a reminder that it has advised for some time not to travel to the United Arab Emirates for non-essential purposes.

Ynet cited security officials as saying there is growing suspicion Kogan was murdered, and the Walla news site reported that Israel has information that he was being followed by Iranian intelligence, citing security sources.

Kogan is a dual Israeli-Moldovan citizen, and has been part of the Abu Dhabi Chabad chapter since Israel normalized ties with the UAE in late 2020. According to Ynet, Kogan participated in the first ever Holocaust remembrance day ceremony in the Gulf state in 2021, and led the Yizkor prayer during the event.

Kogan is the nephew of Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, who was murdered along with his wife in a terror attack at the Nariman Chabad House in Mumbai in 2008, Channel 12 news reported.

Kogan has served as an aide to the Chief Rabbi of the United Arab Emirates, Rabbi Levi Duchman.

The UAE became the most prominent Arab state in 30 years to establish formal ties with Israel under a US-brokered agreement in 2020, dubbed the Abraham Accords. It has maintained the relationship throughout Israel’s more than 13-month war in Gaza.

Israel has been on high alert for Iranian efforts to harm Israelis and Jews around the world through its various agents and proxies, as the countries have exchanged direct military blows for the first time this year.

Iran launched major drone and ballistic missile attacks against Israel in April and October, in response to Israeli strikes on its proxies in Lebanon and Syria. In late October, Israel retaliated with a series of strikes in which dozens of aircraft targeted strategic military sites across Iran as well as air defense batteries.

Iran has vowed to respond but has not yet done so in any major capacity.

How and why people choose to visit Dubai despite all the horrible stories of killings and unjust imprisonment is beyond me. You cannot pay me to visit that place, I don't care how many skyscrapers they have, they are still primitive people. Only reason why the west tolerates them is because of their oil and the desperate need to have an ally in the middle east, otherwise, they will be sanctioned to death like North Korea.

To be sincere. You cannot imagine the pains those Islamic countries are ing through since Israel is decimating then seriously. Their wish is to destroy non Muslim using force but we thank God for his grace. Israel will continue to decimate and destroy them until they stop their evil ways.

I mean there are silent observers from all over the world on this forum. Not just Africans.

You're very correct & this moniker is aware of all global eyes on this forum. No be for 2014 or 2015 we hear rumours say those that hacked this site were Russians?

Reading all rebuttals from different monikers to you showed they're doing their own marketing too. See as FreestuffsNg & Malaki dey look you like say make dem tear you slap!
Keep marketing ya market. It's a free world.
The issue here is you speak against janjaweèds but janjaweèd keep doing their islam-a-båd and coming here to gaslight and play victims.
Those that lived in glass house nor dey throw stones. Oct 7th 2023 attack was the recent provocation.
WritersNig on his own is Russian marketer. Everyone seeking for soul of Nigeria. But you all aren't fair to Nija.
As matter come be now, peace is unrealistic cos nobody dey free for anybody. Na to go and defend una selves. Pity this is now how the world is.

Don't he have escorts that can tell about hes whereabouts?

Religion of piss on the beat.

All these genocidists with their distractions! Whenever the world tries to reveal their evil acts, they quickly come up with an antic to seek undeserved sympathy.

They did it in Amsterdam with their well planned propaganda during a football match. They used their western controlled media to misinform the masses but thank God for the internet that exposed them.

Here is another gimmick to shelve away people’s mind from the ICC most wanted genocidist Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel. The world will not fall for it.
