So maybe it won’t be named Israel but Israel-Palestina (kinda like Bosnia-Herzegovina) or something like that. Of course that seems impossible today but who knows, maybe there’s a timeline where that’s the name of the country 500 years into the future.

You think antisemitism will be removed enough in 500 years to allow that? I would be glad if that was conceivable, but that’s something so deeply ingrained in so widely different societies all over the world, I don’t see it happening.
Look into the history of antisemitism to get a feeling how this is different than “just” your usual tension between neighboring ethnicities.

Yep, I know antisemitism has a long long story, my great grandparents came to my country running away from it at the start of the last century. And islamophobia is going really strong right now too. But I do think there’s higher chances of things like that happening between the years 2000-2500 than between 1000-2000. If the recent pattern with Christianity also happens to Islam and Judaism, fervent religious feeling might diminish in the long term (even if there’s occasional flare-ups here and there) and that coupled with sheer time/centuries might help ease the tensions.
