During his meeting with the Front's chairman, M.S. Bitta, Mr. Lapid was handed over a proposal for opening an institute on anti-terrorism under guidance from Israel.

Both the leaders discussed how terrorism was assuming more lethal proportions and stressed that terrorism-affected nations should jointly work to tackle the menace. Mr. Bitta said India too needed to develop an institute to combat terrorism and chalk out strategies as was being run in Israel.
