  Frank Lowy: From Hagana to $3.8 billion magnate | Jerusalem Post
Frank Lowy, the Australian shopping mall magnate behind the establishment of the new Tel Aviv University-affiliated Institute for National Strategy and Policy, is no stranger to Israel nor think tanks.
Lowy said that while his son David will be coming to Israel in June to look at various investment possibilities, building shopping centers isn't one of them.
Lowy's connection to think tanks was clearly demonstrated in 2003, when he established the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Australia, a non-partisan center that looks at various political, strategic and economic issues "from an Australian perspective."
