Netanyahu: This is another step for humanity, and a huge step for Israel

Netanyahu pays tribute to the late Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon in his remarks ahead of the landing.

He says the Beresheet project is the source of “pride and boundless joy.”

“We can already say this: This is another step for humanity, and a huge step for the State of Israel,” says the prime minister.

Netanyahu also says he’s considering investing in an Israeli space program.
