The White House brands the murder of Chabad rabbi Zvi Kogan in the United Arab Emirates a “horrific crime against all those who stand for peace, tolerance and coexistence.”
“It was an assault as well on UAE and its rejection of violent extremism across the board,” says National Security spokesperson Sean Savett in a statement.
He says the US is in contact with Emirati and Israeli authorities, offering its support. The spokesperson also praises the UAE for quickly arresting several suspects.
Savett calls for those responsible to be held “fully accountable.”
