The United Arab Emirates has sentenced three terrorists to death after being convicted of kidnapping and murdering Israeli Rabbi Zvi Kogan, in a case that has sparked widespread condemnation and calls for greater action against radicalism.

Rabbi Kogan, a 28-year-old Israeli-Moldovan citizen, was abducted and killed in the UAE in November 2024. The investigation revealed that the perpetrators were acting on orders from Iran, highlighting the country’s involvement in terrorist activities.

The sentencing has been welcomed by many, with some hailing it as a victory for justice. “None of Rabbi Zvi Kogan’s murderers will escape punishment,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, emphasizing the need for accountability.

The UAE’s zero-tolerance approach to radicalism has been praised, with many calling on other countries to follow suit. The case has also underscored the importance of international cooperation in combating terrorism.

As news of the sentencing spread, many took to social media to express their relief and gratitude. “Justice has been served,” wrote one user, while another praised the UAE’s “brave stance against terrorism.”

Rabbi Kogan’s family and community have also expressed their appreciation for the UAE’s efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice. The rabbi’s father, Alexander Kogan, thanked the UAE authorities for their “swift and decisive action” in apprehending the suspects.

The case has sent a strong message that terrorism will not be tolerated, and that those responsible will be held accountable. As one observer noted, “The UAE’s sentencing of the terrorists who murdered Rabbi Kogan is a testament to the country’s commitment to justice and its determination to combat radicalism.”
