Today, Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC) released the following statements after introducing H. Res. 815, which commemorates the upcoming 70th anniversary of the foundation of the State of Israel and President Donald Trump's decision to move the United States Embassy to Jerusalem.

"Over the past 70 years, the Israeli people have demonstrated resiliency of the human spirit while overcoming tremendous obstacles. Every day, Israelis endure the threat of terrorism in their lives, but they remain optimistic about the future of their country. As Americans face a similar enemy in the Global War on Terrorism, we must continue to strengthen our relationship with this great nation."

"As Israelis prepare to celebrate the 70th anniversary of their country's independence, I would like to congratulate them on another remarkable year of freedom."
