By the time of Jesus, the tribal system had long since broken down and it is unlikely that anyone would really know what tribe they belonged to. moreover, John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) says that Judas Iscariot is probably a literary creation, based in part on the following reasoning:
Judas is a variant of Judah. There were 12 disciples, just as in the Genesis account, Jacob had 12 sons. When the sons of Jacob sold Joseph into slavery, it was Judah who sought money and received 20 pieces of silver (Gen 37:26-7). The king was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver (Zech 11:14), which he hurled back into the temple, just as Judas did.
Even if Judas Iscariot was a real person, he would be unlikely to have known his ancestry. If, as Bishop Spong suggests, he was not a real person, then he was certainly not from the tribe of Benjamin.
