Answer

strictly speaking, the nation of Israel did not exist, and had not existed since 722 BCE. In its place was the new province of Samaria, home of the Samarians or Samaritans. To the south of Samaria lay Judea, encompassing Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The Romans controlled all Palestine, including Galilee in the north, Samaria and Judea.
