The Holy Land (Biblical: Canaan) (9)

I believe the answer is:

palestine

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

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
