In Romans 11 Paul clearly makes a distinction between believers and enthnic Jews, i.e. the branches and the root and it is clear that in verse 26 he refers to ethnic Israel. Otherwise, it would be a tautology, i.e. all the saved will be saved. Furthermore, verse 26 takes place at a certain point in time defined by verse 25. I don't see any need for Israel to have an identical meaning in every instance that it appears in Scripture. It's meaning should be defined by the context. You wouldn't argue that the word "world" has an identical meaning in the entirety of Scripture or even in the writings of John would you? Similarly, I believe that Scripture refers to Israel in both a spiritual sense and an ethnic sense. Also, I think that you are on dangerous ground if you attempt to negate the plain meaning of a particular Scripture by importing a metaphor from another portion of Scripture.

[14] The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, βLift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, [15] for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever.

[18] On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, βTo your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, [19] the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, [20] the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, [21] the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites.β
