The answer depends on how the question is intended.
Biblical Period
The Jews left because God commanded them to leave and to escape their former slavemasters (Exodus ch.3).
Modern Egypt
Anti-Jewish and Anti-Zionist protests abounded in Egypt in the late 1940s. Many of these protests became riots, endangering both Egyptian Jews and their property. The situation became so untenable that as soon as they could flee to Israel in 1950, almost all of them did. However, they were not specifically asked by King Farouk to leave; they were just given very compelling motivation to leave.

∙ 11y agoActually the problem here is that there is no evidence, beyond the account in Exodus, that they were there in any numbers
There are no Egyptian records of their presence and no archeological evidence of a large number of people travelling through the Sinai
Even the 40 years in exile defies answers. A modern person could walk from the Red Sea area to modern Israel in 4 weeks of walking. Either it did not happen or Moses is THE WORST navigator in human history
It is, in all likelihood, a story.
