Why did God choose Israel as the land where the plan of salvation would unfold?

Well - though it's a tough question to answer, everything goes back to Abraham times. When God called Abraham from Ur (city), he found his loyalty, devotion and faith as unmeasurable among everyone else in the world. He promised He'll give him a great nation and thousands of sons, which were to become what we know today as Israel. He didn't choose Israel, he chose Abraham, father of Israelite today.
God needed someone to pass on his message, any human chosen would have belonged to an specific nation, so it was impossible He wouldn't have chosen a nation. But the most important fact is that God kept his promise to Abraham, Jacob, and all the people who promised him faith. Today, we are all chosen by God. Christ brought a new pact to the world, everyone who believes in him, is a chosen one by God.
The land of Israel is a natural bridge between the continents of Europe and Africa, and Asia and Africa. Anyone traveling in and out of Africa from anywhere else in that part of the world HAD to pass through the land of Israel. Whoever controls this part of the world controls travel, communication, and commerce - therefore controlling the world.
God put the people of Israel in that location so they could be a witness to the whole world that traveled through their land.

What names are used to refer to Israel in the Bible?
Yid landAnswer:It is important to read the history of the name Israel to fully understand who they became/are today. God changes Jacob's name to Israel which encompassed all 12 tribes. Before Jacob dies, he 'adopts' Joseph's two sons - Ephraim and Manasseh - as his own and places his name upon them in that order (see Genesis 48:16).Eventually these tribes would split and the 10 tribes would become the Northern Kingdom with its capital at Samaria. The 2 remaining tribes (predominately) would become known as the Southern Kingdom with Jerusalem as its capital.The Bible uses terms in the 'national' sense like "house of Israel or "all Israel." When the Bible is speaking prophetically, the representative terms "Jacob or Rachel," "Ephraim," or "house of Joseph," or "Samaria" often relates only to the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom.Today, the modern nation-state of Israel, is actually "Judah" or the "house of Judah," which since the Babylonian captivity have also been called "Jews."As I don't know whether the Question meant Israel the person or Israel the nation, both are included here. (As this list is not exhaustive feel free to add to it.)-My people-land of Canaan,-the Land of Israel-Ephraim-Israel-the Children of Israel-Jacob-the Children of Jacob-Zion-children of Zion-Garden of Eden [some believe it was in Israel, while some believe it is all Israel]-children of Eden

What role did Leah play in salvation history?
Leah bore Jacob [Israel] the child named JUDAH[among others] (Gen.29:35).So, historically, Judah, the father of the Jews, would play a MAJOR ROLE in the SALVATION of mankind, as Jesus was a JEW descended from Judah, Leah's son. [Lk.3:33 & Matt.1:2)"...SALVATION is OF THE JEWS." (John 4:22)
Where in the Prophets does is talk about the number of Jews who will be saved?
The overall message of God is salvation to all. He will bring the whole of Israel back to the Promised Land. I would suggest reading all the Prophets but start with Ezekiel 37.
