If the question was intended to be: Who founded the Modern State of Israel? -- The answer would be David Ben-Gurion among a number of other prominent Zionists.

However, the question is "Who found Israel", i.e. "Who discovered the land where Israel now stands?" -- The answer to this is that we have evidence that the first Homo sapiens crossed into Haifa roughly 100,000 years ago, but, of course, we have no idea the identity of the person who did this.

Answer 2

The State of Israel came together as the result of Jewish Immigration to the British Mandate of Palestine, Zionist leadership, Jewish militias and political and financial support from the West (primarily Jewish philanthropists). The first group are called the Halutzim or the Pioneers and they took it upon themselves to modernize Israel by cultivating the land and using European technology to improve its output and productivity. The Zionist leadership included some like Theodor Herzl, who envisioned the state, to Eliezer ben Yehuda, who developed Modern Hebrew as a functional language, to David Ben Gurion who declared Israel's independence and sovereignty, among many others. There were numerous Jewish militias defending the Halutzim and attacking the British (and eventually the Arabs when conflict started) such as the Palmach, the Haganah, and the Irgun. Finally, without the monetary contributions from families like the Rothschilds, there would have been no way for the nascent pre-governmental and governmental organizations to acquire enough capital to maintain an internal infrastructure.

Israel was found by cavemen over 100,000 years ago.

If you mean to ask who FOUNDED the Modern State of Israel, that would be David Ben Gurion and a cadre of fellow Zionists on May 14, 1948.

According to The Bible, the kingdom of Israel was founded by Saul, who was anointed king by the prophet Samuel. However, Israel Finkelstein says that the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were always separate, with a different life style, different pottery, different myths and legends, and the same language Hebrew, but different dialects. In his view, there never was a United Kingdom.

The earliest biblical king of the northern kingdom of Israel is Jeroboam (c. 925 BCE), but this is uncertain, with some scholars saying that the earliest king of Israel might have been Omri.

The first Israelite king was Saul (1 Samuel ch.8-10), but the true founder of the kingdom was Samuel, not Saul, because it was Samuel's prophecy and authority that backed Saul up and enabled him to take power. See also:
