The word 'Israel' in the Bible doesn't refer to any piece of land. Israel represents the people who trust in God by faith, not by place. The land was a conditional gift, not a birthright.

Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites." (Exodus 19:5-6)
