Yes, but not at the same time. When Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob's family lived

there, it was Canaan. After the slavery and exodus from Egypt, their descendants,

numbering millions by that time, returned to the land and displaced the Canaanites.

Canaan is a region of the Middle East whose borders are roughly synonymous with the former British Mandate of Palestine. Israel is a state that controls almost all of the former Mandate and has around 78% of the former Mandate under internationally recognized legitimate authority.

The two terms Canaan and Israel refer to different things, a region and a state in that region.
