Original Note:
In 3000-2500 BCE, the area now called Israel was part of Canaan, inhabited by Canaanite city-states. "Israel" appears in records much later, around 1207 BCE (Merneptah Stele). The name "Palestine" wasn’t used until Roman times, after 135 CE. https://www.britannica.com/place/Canaan-historical-region-Middle-East https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaan
