THE Palestine is one of its countries Middle East.

At a glance

During biblical times, the wandering Jews finally settled in this area, guided by Yahweh as the only "Promised Place" of the whole Globe. Thus, starting the first wars with other biblical peoples in the area, the Jews created two kingdoms, Judah and Jacob (renamed by Yahweh to Israel), under whose domination the whole region came. And for Christianity this same area is characterized as the "Holy Land" because Jesus Christ and the Apostles lived and taught there. But even for Islam this place is also sacred as some sites are associated with the Prophet Muhammad.
