The United Arab Emirates thanked Türkiye on Tuesday for cooperating on the arrest of suspects in the killing of Israeli rabbi Zvi Kogan, who was a resident of the UAE.

The message of thanks came from the director of strategic communications at the Emirati foreign ministry in a post on X.

Three suspects accused of murdering an Israeli rabbi in the United Arab Emirates were caught in Istanbul in a secret operation at the weekend by the Turkish intelligence and police, a Turkish security source said on Tuesday.

The suspects, all of them Uzbek citizens, were extradited to the UAE upon UAE government request, the source also said.
