Israel would discuss the issue of homeland security with West Bengal which is reeling under the brunt of Maoist extremism.
"Homeland security is becoming important and affecting each of us. In this field we feel there is something which we can augment for the state of West Bengal," Ambassador of Israel to India Mark Sofer said while addressing the Bengal National Chamber of Commerce and Industry here today.
He would meet Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and Governor M K Narayanan tomorrow to deliberate on the matter.

Besides homeland security, Sofer would also discuss issues like water management, dairy farming and drip irrigation with West Bengal.
