An important figure in Israeli politics, Avigdor Lieberman held several important posts in the government, including Minister of Defense and Foreign Affairs. His fervent nationalist beliefs and dedication to Zionism—the national movement advocating for the restoration of a Jewish homeland in Israel—made him well-known.

In his statement, Lieberman outlines his vision of Israel as a nation with a unique identity based on Zionist and Jewish values, rather than just any nation. This concept is comparable to constructing a house in which each brick stands for a different facet of Zionist or Jewish heritage. Lieberman thought that Israel should represent the shared goals and ideals of the Jewish people, much like the layout and style of this house would represent its function and the ideals of its builders.

The goal of Lieberman's vision for Israel was to make sure that the nation stayed loyal to its heritage while simultaneously serving as a welcoming environment for Jews from around the globe. His remarks make clear how strongly he feels that Israel's history as a Jewish homeland and its national identity should remain closely linked.
