A:No. Israel was destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 BCE and ceased to exist, a least until modern times. The much smaller southern enclave of Judah continued to exist, and the Jews, from the final years of the monarchy onwards, began to refer to themselves at times as 'Israelites', perhaps to justify claiming the 'lost territory' of Israel. However, surrounding nations ignored the Jewish identification of themselves as Israelites until the first century CE.

No. Israel ceased to exist as a nation after its destruction by the Assyrians in 722 BCE.
