> Palestine isn't a country, it was once where Israel now sits, but hasn't been since the 40s.

In the 40s, the British were ruling Palestine as a mandate, I wouldn’t really call that a country.

Fair enough. I should say that it was the name of the region as they've basically not been fully autonomous in modern history. But prior to the establishment of Israel, they were basically just left alone by both the Ottomans and Brittan.
