PMO confirms disappearance of Chabad Rabbi Zvi Kogan in UAE

The Prime Minister’s Office confirms that the Mossad spy agency is investigating the disappearance of Chabad Rabbi Zvi Kogan in Abu Dhabi.

Kogan disappeared on Thursday, the PMO says, and the incident is being treated as terrorism.

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.

The PMO reminds citizens that the National Security Council advises Israelis to only travel to the United Arab Emirates for essential reasons.
