In another tweet posted on the same day, she emphasized the importance of Israel’s security by stating that “When Israel is strong, America is safe, and Israel has the right to defend themselves against any and all attacks.” She further noted that “A nuclear Iran remains a grave threat to Israel, the United States, and the world.”
Furthermore, Wilson expressed solidarity with Israel during challenging times in her tweet: “My heart goes out to the Israeli people during this trying time.” She conveyed hope for peace in the region by stating her commitment to monitoring developments closely: “I will continue to monitor the situation in the region, and it is my hope that longstanding peace can still be achieved in the region.”
