A:Strictly speaking, Israel did not exist at the time of Christ, and had not done so for over seven hundred years.

Rome was the occupying power of Samaria, the successor state to Israel, and also in Judea . Galilee, which is also associated with Jesus, was ruled by Herod Antipas, but effectively under Roman control.

No, because it didn't exist at that time. He was born in what at the time waws known as Judaea. His birthplace is traditionally given as Bethlehem, which city is within the boundaries of ancient Israel but not within the boundaries of the modern nation (it's in the so-called "West Bank" region occupied, but not formally claimed, by Israel).


Did Israel exist in the time of Jesus?

No. Israel ceased to exist as a nation after its destruction by the Assyrians in 722 BCE. The territory formerly occupied by the Israelites became the Assyrian province of Samaria, although by the time of Jesus it was under Roman control. A new nation of Israel was formed in 1949, covering much of the former lands of Israel, and also the former lands of Judah and some other territory.
