The Israelites were called "Israel" in hieroglyphics. This is found on the Merneptah stele.
According to the Egyptians, they were tribes living in the Judean Hills as 'bandits and herders'.
A:Even those who believe in the historicity of the stories of Abraham and his descendants, who were the biblical ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel, acknowledge that Egypt existed long before the time of Abraham. The ancient Egyptians were not even a Semitic people, so there was no close ethnic relationship between the Egyptians and the Israelites.
Abraham was the ancestor of the Israelites, Arabs, Edumeans, and certain other Semitic tribes. See Genesis 25.

The Ten Lost Tribes of the Israelites.
A few Hebrew families fled to Egypt about 1850 BCE. The remainder remained in Palestine. They were a group of tribes known to the Egyptians as 'Habiru'. With perhaps 100 people involved in the flight to Egypt, it is difficult to describe them as the Israelites, of believe the fantasy biblical stories that on their return to Israel after 300 years 100 people had bred up to the nearly 3,000,000 claimed in the bible. These are myths of the Jewish people and need to be taken as such. The Habiru tribes in Palestine were a loose federation. Again the stories of around 1,000 BCE of David and Solomon also need to be taken in this context - they still were a loose group of tribes known to the Egyptians as living in the hills of Judea. Why are there no remains of Solomon's palaces? The beginning of the Israelites as an historical state begins from about 800 BCE.
The ancient Israelites wanted kings to replace the judges, just to follow the other tribes who had kings.
These are the Ten Lost Tribes.
Yes, they comprised two of the twelve tribes of Israel (Judah and Benjamin), with remnants of all the other tribes of Israel.
Israelites were considered to be Israel's children. There were 12 Tribes of Israel that made up this group of people. The tribes are of Jewish decent.
