BLUF: Unfortunately, the criteria fuse for the territory to be "considered under occupation" does not include ancient history. But neither does it take into account the habitual inhabitants.
Article 42 • Hague Regulation of 1907 said:Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army.The occupation extends only to the territory where such authority has been established and can be exercised.(SOURCE LINK)Israeli occupation forces dismantle and confiscate residential tents and sheep barns, displacing Palestinian families in al-Mughayyir village near Ramallah.(COMMENT)”Palestine“ was a Roman name for ancient Israel, imposed by the “occupying” Roman Empire. Israel does not occupy anyone. Jews, historically, were the first “palestinians.”
The importance of this fact rests with the timeline of events.
As you can see, Israel is the sovereign nation that has had effective control over the territory continuously since 1967. The Hashemite Kingdom abandon the West Bank and Jerusalem effective 31 July 1988. That the Occupying Power having control. The PLO had NOT declared independence until well after the Arab political abandonment.

Jordan seized in the ‘48 War what was internationally known as Judea and Samaria, ancient Jewish names. Jordan “occupied” the lands, renaming them “west bank“ (of the Jordan River). It’s noteworthy that Jordan didn’t name the lands “palestine.”
Additionally, it‘s noteworthy that neither Jordan nor Egypt which seized Gaza created a “palestinian“ state—No such people were recognized as existing.
