If you believe otherwise, then you need to explain how you can say there is more than one Gospel, when Scripture says that there's only one Gospel (Galatians 1:8). And if you want to argue that the kingdom was preached only to Israel, you also need to explain why St. Paul was there in Rome under house arrest, preaching the kingdom of God (Acts 28:30-31).

Gospel simply means good news. The good news proclaimed by Jesus and John the Baptist was NOT the death burial and resurrection of Christ.
It was that their promised Messiah and King is here. This was a promise to the Jews only. If you really read the 4 Gospels, no one understood then that Jesus had to die for their sins.
But with the rejection of Jesus by the Jewish nation with Stephen stoning, the good news was that belief alone in Jesus's DBR is sufficient to save one, apart from works. This was extended to both Jews and Gentiles, explaining your point about Acts 28.
That is the context of Galatians and why Paul stated that the Gospel of the Kingdom was no longer valid. As Acts 15 Peter stated, everyone Jew and Gentile are now to be saved by this gospel. Galatians was written after Acts 15.
