Current Israelites are largely Eastern European.That's the common misimpression. In reality.....
"Israeli Jews are nearly evenly split between two Jewish ethnic identity groups ' the Ashkenazim (45%) and the Sephardim or Mizrahim (48%). These two ethnic groups retain some distinct religious practices and cultural traditions associated with their ancestral roots."

Sephardic Jews are from Spain and Portugal. And in addition, there are Jews in Israel from a number of countries in the Middle East and in North Africa.
