Joe Wilson, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing South Carolina's 2nd district, shared his thoughts on various international issues through a series of tweets on February 2, 2025.

In one tweet, Wilson commented on a meeting between terrorists discussing counter-terrorism efforts. He expressed skepticism and humor with the statement: "Is this comedy, Qassim? A terrorist is meeting other terrorists to agree on fighting terrorism #DesignateBadr".

Later that day, Wilson addressed the release of Yarden Bibas from Hamas captivity after nearly 500 days. He questioned the whereabouts of Bibas's family members and reaffirmed America's support for Israel amidst global silence. He tweeted: "Yarden Bibas is finally home after nearly 500 days of Hamas captivity. Where are his wife Shiri and babies Ariel and Kfir? America will always stand with Israel despite the shameful silence across the world."

In another post, Wilson praised the resilience of Georgian protesters who have been demonstrating against what he described as an illegitimate regime for over two months. His tweet read: "I continue to be inspired by the brave people of Georgia who are on the streets this very minute for their 67th consecutive day of mass protests against the illegitimate Ivanishvili regime. This brutal regime rigged an election & now attacks them, detains them & raids their homes."
