US Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism (SEAS) Amb. Deborah E. Lipstadt reacted to the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan: "Horrified by the news that Chabad Rabbi Zvi Kogan was kidnapped and murdered. We appreciate the actions of UAE authorities to hold accountable those who planned and carried out this heinous act. The ongoing targeting of Jewish communities worldwide is abhorrent and must stop."
