Not exactly.

The entire region was called Israel up until the year 70 CE. From 70 CE to 1948 CE, it was called Palestine, named by the Romans, after Israel's enemy (the Phillistines).

After 1948, it was partitioned into two separate countries, called Israel and Palestine; however, the people who today are called "Palestinians" did not accept the partition, and two wars later, Israel had control of the areas that were designated "Palestine".
