Best Answer

Those called Israelis are those who reside in the land of Israel as of now.

Those who are Israelites are those who are descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are scattered of out the land of Israel, and are of the 12 tribes of Israel. These people are traditionally considered to be the Jews although there are minority opinions that claim them to be African-American, Palestinian, and otherwise.

So, the answer would be no, they are not the same people.
