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.

∙ 7y agoIsrael the country or Israel the people? If it's the country, you should have said Canaan.
The Israelites themselves were under the rule of the Pharaohs at that time.
The country of Canaan, which then consisted of individual towns and areas, was under local Canaanite kings who in turn were under the hegemony of their powerful neighbor, Egypt, which had garrisons in Canaan.
