Before the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948, the land was the British Mandate of Palestine. The United Nations had decided to split Palestine into four zones, with two zones going to the Jews and two zones to the Palestinians, providing approximately half of the former Palestine to each. The Palestinian share was gradually reduced, until the UN defined a "Green Line", providing the Palestinians somewhat more than the 1967 borders.
Before it was called Israel, the land was known as Canaan.

None; there was no "Palestine" prior to World War 1. Before the Great War, the area now sometimes called "Palestine" was part of Turkey, and had been for hundreds of years. Turkey was allied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and after WWI ended, the British and French partitioned Turkey into several separate colonies including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. "Palestine" was the name given to the area that now includes Israel and Jordan. After WWII, the United Nations partitioned "Palestine" into "Israel" and "Trans-Jordan", or the "land across the Jordan River".
