The Ruling on Calling the Jews Israelis

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And are the Jews called Israelis?

Answer:
The Children of Israel are called the Children of Israel because they are the sons of Ya'qub (Jacob), from the descendants of Ya'qub (peace be upon him). Israel is Ya'qub, the son of Ishaq (Isaac), the son of Ibrahim (Abraham) (peace and blessings be upon them). Yes.
