That’s dumb, people were calling it Palestine since the Egyptian New Kingdom (which was like 1300 BCE). The Romans called it Palestine or some version after Judaea, can’t rember why the switch but the Byzantines kept it as Palestine. It’s just what the region was called, it’s silly. There was no Israel when Jesus was purported to be around, there was the Roman province and Herods Kingdom.
During the Egyptian period there was the region “Philistia” inhabited by the Sea Peoples. While they were technologically advanced and wealthy from trade, This region did not extend inland from their port cities.
The Switch of name from Judea to Palestine was because of the Jewish Wars (60 - 130 CE)
