Answer 1
British Mandate of Palestine.
Answer 2
The lack of a singular definition for what constitutes "Palestine" make the question difficult to answer. "Palestine" is typically interpreted one of two ways. The first way is to refer to all of the land in the British Mandate of Palestine which includes the Modern State of Israel (except for the Golan Heights), the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank. The second way is to refer to exclusively those territories which the Palestinian Authority claims will serve as a basis for a future Palestinian State: the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The former British Mandate of Palestine, therefore, it currently occupied by three nations: the de jure legitimate State of Israel (78% of the former Mandate), the de jure legitimate State of Palestine (20% of the former Mandate) and located in the "West Bank", and the de jure illegitimate Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip (2% of the former Mandate).

When the Romans defeated the Bar Kochba Revolt in the year 136, the Emperor Hadrian renamed the former territory of Roman Judea and merged it with Syria, calling the united province Syria Palaestina. The name Palestina was chosen as a reference to the Philistines, traditional enemies of the Jews in what were even then considered ancient times. Hadrian also banned the use of the Jewish calendar, banned the teaching of the Torah, and executed many Jewish scholars in an effort to suppress Judaism and break the connection between the surviving Jews and what had been their land. The new name stuck, and evolved through multiple reorganizations of the government to become what we now call Palestine.
