Death Penalty Handed Down in UAE for Killers of Chabad Emissary Rabbi Zvi Kogan

The United Arab Emirates announced today (Monday) that the three men convicted of murdering Chabad emissary Rabbi Zvi Kogan z”l have been sentenced to death. Following the announcement, MK Oded Forer, chairman of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, urged the Israeli government to move forward with legislation to impose the death penalty on convicted terrorists—a bill that has stalled for over two years.

ככה נלחמים בטרור – באמירויות רוצחים מקבלים עונש מוות. אצלנו?
ביבי ממשיך למרוח את החוק.
ממשלת הימין בכאילו הזו, תוקעת את חוק עונש המוות שהעברתי בקריאה טרומית, כבר יותר משנתיים. pic.twitter.com/1sj85YGi9R

“This Is How You Fight Terror—With the Death Penalty”
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Forer wrote:
“This is how you fight terrorism—murderers get the death penalty in the Emirates. And here? Bibi continues to delay the law. This so-called right-wing government has been holding up the death penalty bill I passed in its preliminary reading for more than two years.”
