Space technology will have a major focus in the Science and Technology Ministry, said Minister Yaakov Peri, taking over from Prof. Daniel Herschkowitz on Tuesday.
Peri said he would work to ensure that innovation, space research, cyber, science and technology "will continue to be at the forefront of Israel’s achievements."

"I am sure he will lead the ministry to many successes," he said.
