What is father of israelites?

The father of the Israelites is considered to be Abraham. According to the Hebrew Bible, God called Abraham out of his homeland in Mesopotamia and made a covenant with him, promising to make him the father of a great nation. Abraham's descendants, including his son Isaac and grandson Jacob (also known as Israel), became the patriarchs of the 12 tribes of Israel. The story of Abraham is a central narrative in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and he is seen as a revered figure in all three religions.
