Archaeological discoveries have included remains of Homo erectus and Neaderthals, indicating humans have inhabited the area for 1, 5 million years.
Israel borders Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt.
In relation to the term Palestine, it can refer to the entire area as in Biblical times or it can refer to the name of the region up until the establishment of the country of Israel. In modern times Palestine can refer to the Palestinian Territories, a point of contention for geopolitics.
