New York, NY, November 25, 2024 ... The Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) Task Force on Middle East Minorities condemns the tragic murder of Chabad emissary Rabbi Zvi Kogan in the United Arab Emirates. This horrific act underscores the urgent need to confront rising extremism, antisemitism, and hatred in the Middle East.
