Israel has pledged to bring to justice those responsible for the murder of a prominent rabbi in the United Arab Emirates, denouncing his killing as a “heinous antisemitic terrorist act”. Zvi Kogan, who ran a Kosher shop in Dubai and worked for the Orthodox Jewish group Chabad, vanished in Dubai on Thursday.

Rabbi Zvi Kogan, 28, was living in Abu Dhabi with his wife as a representative of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.

Ephraim Mirvis wrote on Sunday that "no act of evil will deter us from uniting against the forces of darkness that seek to divide us."
