Pinnacle Gazette
"Rabbi Zvi Kogan, known as the Chabad emissary to Abu Dhabi, has gone missing under troubling circumstances, sparking fears of kidnapping and possibly even murder. The rabbi, who is both Israeli and Moldovan, was reported missing on Thursday afternoon, raising alarm bells within the Israeli government and among local communities...Security sources have indicated to Ynet and various media platforms, including Walla News, there is speculation he may have been murdered and his body has not been recovered. One unverified source even claims the perpetrators may have fled to Turkey following the incident. This has drawn parallels to previous cases involving individuals taken from Dubai to Iran, heightening concerns for Kogan's safety. The case of Jamshid Sharmahd, who was kidnapped and later executed after being taken to Iran, remains fresh in the minds of many. “We know Iranian intelligence operatives were surveilling him,” said Jason Brodsky, policy director at United Against Nuclear Iran, emphasizing the serious nature of the situation."
