The United Arab Emirates arrested three suspects in the killing of Israeli-Moldovan Rabbi Zvi Kogan, the UAE's Interior Ministry (MOI) announced Sunday.
Kogan was reported missing by his family on Thursday.
A ministry statement did not give further details on the suspects but said the ministry would use "all legal powers to respond decisively and without leniency to any actions or attempts that threaten societal stability."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office denounced Kogan's death as a "heinous antisemitic terrorist act."
"The murder of the late Zvi Kogan is a criminal antisemitic terrorist attack," the PMO said. "The State of Israel will act by all means and bring the criminals responsible for his death to justice."
Mossad and authorities in the Gulf country had opened the investigation based on information that Kogan’s disappearance may be related to "a terrorist incident."
"The Israeli mission in Abu Dhabi has been in contact with the family since the beginning of the incident and continues to support them during this difficult time," the PMO and Foreign Affairs Ministry stated. "His family in Israel has also been informed."
HOW WAS ZVI KOGAN FOUND?
Kogan’s body was found in the Emirati city of Al Ain, which borders Oman and is about an hour and a half from Dubai, though it is not clear if he was killed there or elsewhere, former Israeli Druze politician Ayoob Kara said.
Kara said he was waiting for the UAE to finish an investigation but blamed Iran for the murder.
"The one enemy [Israel has] today is the terror and Iran that supports the terror. The indication that we have now is this is the direction of the investigation," said Kara, a Likud member who works to promote economic relations between Israel and the Arab world.

Information in Israel’s possession indicated that Kogan may have been under Iranian surveillance, reports said. Iran’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.
Kara said Kogan’s body would be sent to Israel for burial after the UAE finished investigating.
Kogan, 28, who worked in the UAE for the Orthodox Jewish group Chabad, which seeks to support Jewish life for thousands of Jewish visitors and residents in the Gulf Arab state, vanished in Dubai, where he ran a kosher grocery store, on Thursday.
The Ynet news site reported that Kogan’s car was found abandoned in Al Ain. It added, without citing sources, that there were signs of a struggle in the vehicle. Officials suspect a number of Uzbek citizens recruited by Iran

, the report said.
Tehran said it "categorically rejects the allegations of Iran’s involvement in the murder of this individual," Iran’s embassy in Abu Dhabi said in a statement to Rooters on Sunday.
IN ABU DHABI SINCE 2020
Kogan was a dual Israeli-Moldovan citizen, who reportedly served in the Israel Defense Forces’ Givati Brigade.
He had been part of the Abu Dhabi Chabad chapter since Israel normalized ties with the UAE in late 2020 under the US-brokered Abraham Accords.
According to Chabad, Kogan worked to expand Jewish life in the UAE alongside Chief Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Duchman, including ensuring the wide availability of kosher food and opening the first Jewish education center in the country.
The Rimon Market, a Kosher grocery store that Kogan managed on Dubai’s busy Al Wasl Road, was shut Sunday. As the wars have roiled the region, the store has been the target of online protests by pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel protesters. Mezuzahs on the front and back doors of the market appeared to have been ripped off.
Kogan’s wife Rivky joined him at the posting after their wedding in 2022. She is the niece of Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, who was murdered along with his wife in a terror attack at the Nariman Chabad House in Mumbai in 2008.
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.
TRAVEL WARNING
Israeli authorities reissued their recommendation against all non-essential travel to the UAE and said visitors now there should minimize movement, remain in secure areas, and avoid visiting places associated with Israel and Jewish populations.
Israelis have flocked to Dubai for commerce and tourism since the Emirates and Israel forged diplomatic ties under a 2020 US-brokered agreement, dubbed the Abraham Accords.
The UAE has a burgeoning Jewish community, with synagogues and businesses catering to kosher diners.
It has maintained the relationship forged through the Abraham Accords during the 13-month Israel-Hamas

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package...
the public presence of Israelis and Jews in the UAE has appeared to recede since the devastating Hamas cross-border attack on Israeli communities on October 7, 2023, that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and triggered the ongoing Gaza conflict, which has sparked protests worldwide.
Jewish community members in the UAE told Rooters that informal synagogues in Dubai were closed after the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel over security concerns, with Jews instead gathering to pray at home.
The one government-approved synagogue in the UAE remains open in Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital. There are no official synagogues in Dubai, the UAE’s biggest city and commercial hub.
There are no official statistics on the number of Jews or Israelis living in the country, but estimates from Jewish groups suggest the community numbers in the several thousand.
