Most of what they gained in 1948, when the UN drew up the map but the "Palestinians" rejected the whole notion of partition and attacked Israel.
All land presently controlled by Israel was included in the UN Resolution for partition, passed in 1948 by majority vote of the General Assembly. Much of this land, if not all, is contested by various Palestinian interests and factions.
Israel, is the answer you are seeking but its not strictly correct. The UN created Israel after much pressure from Jewish /American interests. The British held the mandate for Palestine, the land the Jewes wanted as 'The Promised Land' even though Palestinians already lived there. Britain gave up the mandate and the rest is an unpleasant history
The children of Israel could have reached the Promised Land almost 40 years earlier.
Today's Israel is a tiny sliver of land and does not represent the biblical Israel in its entirety. Israel takes up something like 0.01% of the middle east. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because some Zionist groups (like the Lehi/Stern Gang and the Irgun) were considered terrorists prior to 1948 by both the British and the Americans. Additionally, many US officials thought that by supporting Israel that they would be "backing the wrong horse" so to speak. The Israelis seemed much weaker than the Arabs and the Arabs were much more likely to hold a grudge against those who supported Israel. (Supporters of Israel in the State Department argued that the US should support Western democracies wherever possible.) It was as a result of this division of opinion that the US State Department was neutral in regards to Israel from 1948-1967.

AnswerThe apparent size of the Promised Land differs in various parts of the Bbile. However, if the Promised Land was the land of the Canaanites, then modern Israel is much larger. For example, the Canaanites did not occupy the Negev Desert, from which Exodus says the Israelites travelled on their way to the Promised Land. Nor did the land of the Canaanites include Philistia - the coastal strip and foothills north from the Egyptian border to approximately where Tel Aviv is today.Ancient Israel and Judah actually occupied a quite small area, based on the mountainous hinterland and the Jezreel Valley.
The 'Holy Land', comprising sites mentioned in the Bible and the routes traveled by several Biblical characters, covers territory that is now in Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Turkey, and Egypt, as well as territory that will eventually be part of a Palestinian state.
Yes, Palestine was a country. When Israel was created in 1948, the land was occupied by the British and before that the Turkish Empire. When the UN created Israel after the Holocaust they wanted to split the land in half. Half as Palestine and half as Israel. Arabs did not like the idea. As the British retreated from Israel all the neighboring Arab countries tried to take over Israel. A war ensued and as the Jewish people pushed back their Arab neighbors they declared the land Israel. Palestinians today who live in the West Bank were Jordanian before the war, but never went back to live Jordan, because they want to stay in their home country. The West Bank and Gaza both are Palestinian and are still in Israel, but are run by their own Palestinian governments. Palestinians are determined to get THEIR land back.___________________________________________________________ Palestine has been semi-autonomous (the Palestinian Authority) since renouncing war on Israel in the 1990's. As stated above, the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza now govern themselves, but they are not an independent country. They are still technically part of Israel. A study of history will show that this land has had many rulers before the Israelis, the Brits, and the Turks. But as the Arabs say"our land will be back".
