UAE catches suspects in Dubai kosher store owner case

UAE law-enforcement made quick progress in a recent criminal case - they detained three citizens of Uzbekistan connected to the death of Zvi Kogan. The 28-year old Israeli-Moldovan rabbi didnt return home last thursday

The victim managed a kosher food shop in Dubai (a place where many Israeliʼs buy groceries); his store became popular after UAE and Israel signed peace deal in late-2020. The shop was one of first Israeli-owned businesses in the city-state that showed growing connections between nations

The Interior Ministryʼs statement doesnt explain reasons behind this incident but confirms that suspects are in custody. The case got attention from both UAE and Israeli communities - as Dubai became a well-known spot for Israeli business-people and tourists after Abraham Accords made travel easier
