“Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that they will "use all means" to deal with the murderers of an “Israeli” rabbi killed in an "abhorrent anti-Semitic" attack in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

 

"The murder of an Israeli citizen and a Chabad emissary is an abhorrent anti-Semitic terrorist attack," Netanyahu said during a cabinet meeting, referring to Tzvi Kogan, who was living and working in the Gulf state on behalf of an international religious Jewish movement.

 

"The State of Israel will use all means, and will deal with these murderers, and those who dispatched them, to the fullest extent of the law,” he added.

 

Rabbi Zvi Kogan, a Chabad emissary, went missing yesterday in the UAE. His body was discovered later.

 

According to Hebrew news outlet Yedioth Ahronoth, Rabbi Kogan's car was found abandoned in a city about an hour and a half from Dubai. Authorities suspect that three Uzbeks abducted and killed him before fleeing to Turkey.

 

An Israeli Occupation delegation traveled to the UAE to investigate the incident, which has raised widespread concern.

 

Rabbi Kogan had been married for just six months, and his wife is the niece of Gavriel Holtzberg, a Chabad emissary killed in the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
