An epistle goes out to Gaza (9)

I believe the answer is:

palestine

(Other definitions for palestine that I've seen before include "Middle-East area" , "Penalties on region once known as Canaan" , "Region deriving its name from the Philistines" , "The historic Holy Land in neat piles" , "territory under dispute" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
