The account
Eshed oversaw the launch of many Israeli satellites and chaired national space committees. His December 2020 interview claiming secret US–alien agreements and a Mars base made headlines worldwide.

Israel Space Agency chair Isaac Ben-Israel said he had gone 'too far'; no evidence was offered.
