Best Answer

An Israeli is a citizen of the modern State of Israel. An Israelite is a person from the Biblical Era that was a descendant of Jacob and probably lived in either the United Kingdom of Israel, the Northern Kingdom of Israel, or the Kingdom of Judah. It is conventionally believed that the Israelites are the ancestors of the Jewish people, who then founded the State of Israel roughly 2000 years later. The difference is primarily time.
