Control of the area of the eastern Mediterranean Sea has changed so many times from the ancient world to the modern world. Basically the areas now called Samaria, Judea and Israel were once controlled by Alexander the great. Later the area was controlled by ancient Rome. At one time the Ottoman Turks controlled it. Prior to even the great Alexander, however, the area was part of the state of Israel.
