The United Arab Emirates’ Ambassador to the US Yousef Al Otaiba says in a statement that Rabbi Zvi Kogan’s murder “was more than a crime in the UAE — it was a crime against the UAE. It was an attack on our homeland, on our values and on our vision.”
He writes on X: “In the UAE, we welcome everyone. We embrace peaceful coexistence. We reject extremism and fanaticism of every kind. We honor Zvi Kogan’s memory by recommitting ourselves to these values.”
He adds that the country mourns Kogan and “Our thoughts are with his family, friends and community over his senseless death.”
