Rabbi who went missing in UAE since Thursday was killed: Israel's PMO

Israel said Sunday that the body of an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi who went missing in the United Arab Emirates has been found after he was killed in what the government described as a heinous antisemitic terror incident. The statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Israel will act with all means to seek justice with the criminals responsible for his death. Zvi Kogan went missing on Thursday, and there were suspicions he had been kidnapped. His disappearance comes as Iran has been threatening to retaliate against Israel after the two countries traded fire in October. The Emirati government gave no immediate acknowledgment that Kogan had been found dead. Kogan's wife, Rivky, is a US citizen who lived with him in the UAE. She's the niece of Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg, who was killed in the 2008 Mumbai attacks. The Chabad Lubavitch movement, a prominent and highly observant branch of Orthodox Judaism, said Kogan was last seen in Dubai. A video circulating on social med

UAE opens its annual oil-and-gas summit, pledges to increase output

The United Arab Emirates opened its annual oil-and-gas summit on Monday with pledges to increase energy output even as global prices have fallen and world politics remain uncertain ahead of the US presidential election. The massive Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference comes after the UAE just last year hosted the United Nations COP28 climate talks. Those talks ended with a call by nearly 200 countries to move away from planet-warming fossil fuels the first time the conference made that crucial pledge. But the UAE as a whole still plans to increase its production of oil to 5 million barrels a day in the coming years as it pursues more cleaner energies at home. Meanwhile, UAE officials have made a point to dodge any questions about the US election while maintaining their close ties to Russia despite Moscow's war on Ukraine. Allow me to say that we in the United Arab Emirates will always choose partnership over polarisation, dialogue over division and peace ove
