President Isaac Herzog says he mourns “with sorrow and outrage” the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan in the UAE.
“This vile antisemitic attack is a reminder of the inhumanity of the enemies of the Jewish people,” he writes on X. “It will not deter us from continuing to grow flourishing communities in the UAE or anywhere — especially with the help of the dedicated commitment and work of the Chabad emissaries all over the world.”
He also thanks the UAE for its “swift action,” and says he trusts it will do all it can to bring the killers to justice.
