Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are investigating the disappearance of an Israeli-Moldovan dual national in the UAE.
Zvi Kogan, an envoy of the Orthodox Jewish organisation Chabad, has been missing since Thursday, the Israeli prime minister’s office said.
Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad is conducting an “active investigation” and suspects a “terrorist incident”, it said, while local authorities confirmed a search operation is under way.
“Israeli security and intelligence organisations, concerned for Kogan’s safety and wellbeing, have been working tirelessly on this case,” the office of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.
