Does it belong to the Jews, the Arabs, The Christians or Palestinians?
Whose Land?
The ancient tribes mentioned in these Scripture verses are the peoples who occupied the land in question when the Israelites left Egypt, where they had been slaves to the Egyptians for 400 years.
There has never been a race of people called Palestinians. It is an urban myth. There was never a country called Palestine until the Romans used it as a means of wiping out the name of Israel because of their own hatred of the Jews
Jerusalem was the ancient capital city of the Southern Kingdom of Israel known as Judah.

that it does not belong to Israel at all. The Jews will state that it has always been theirs,

Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. But the
people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We
even saw descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites live in the Negev; the
Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live
near the sea and along the Jordan."

ancient tribes lived, it is clearly the land of Israel and GOD has given it to them as their
inheritance forever.
God gave them.
The Bible clearly states the Land that G-D gave to the Israelites (see opposite)
Hadrian’s selection of Palestine was purposeful, not accidental. In AD135 he took the name of the ancient enemies of Israel, the Philistines, Latinized it to Palestine, and applied it to the Land of Israel. He hoped to erase the name Israel from all memory. Thus, the term Palestine as applied to the Land of Israel was invented by the inveterate enemy of the Bible and the Jewish people, Emperor Hadrian.
