Who is the one given as a covenant for the people in Isaiah 49

Jesus in me

In Acts that verse is also used of the church in Christ
Acts 13:47 New International Version (NIV)
47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
“‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”

note the word 'us' regarding the church (which is in Christ)
so maybe it is true Israel, the church which is in Christ

I believe if we have Jesus in us then we are the light of the world. It is still Jesus . We alone would not be that light.

It's not physical Israel

And now the Lord says—
he who formed me in the womb to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
and gather Israel to himself,

this is someone who will redeem Jacob not merely Jacob
The church in Christ fits
It's true Israel

I believe you can't fit the church into a womb but Jesus was definitely there.
