Investigations into the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan in the UAE have ruled out Iranian involvement, with authorities arresting three suspects believed to be acting for financial motives.

The swift arrest of suspects by UAE authorities reflects their proactive approach to security, especially concerning incidents involving foreign nationals.

The incident has heightened security alerts for Israeli diplomatic missions globally, indicating a potential shift in the safety landscape for Jewish communities abroad.

Increased scrutiny on the security measures in the UAE may lead to changes in how foreign nationals, particularly those from Israel, are monitored and protected.

Potential diplomatic tensions could arise between Israel and Iran if any evidence emerges linking Iran to the incident, despite current denials.


Iran has denied involvement in the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, whose killing has raised security concerns in Israel and the UAE. Initial investigations suggest that the perpetrators may be a group of Uzbeks acting for financial gain, rather than under Iranian orders. The UAE authorities arrested three suspects shortly after the incident, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining security and stability in the country. Kogan, a representative of the Jewish Chabad movement, was found dead after being reported missing, with Israeli officials labeling the act as a heinous, anti-Semitic terrorist act.
