Jesus wasn't really a leader of Israel. He had the right heritage to be the King of Israel but He was rejected by the nation of Israel.
The people were looking for the messiah who was prophesied to come in the Jewish (Old Testament) writings. When people saw the many miracles that Jesus did and heard His teaching they believed Jesus was the messiah. They thought He was going to deliver Israel from Roman rule and be king of Israel. So when Jesus was crucified their hopes were lost. Jesus' disciples also did not fully understand what had happened until Jesus appeared to them after His resurrection and taught them more about why He had to die.
The Israel king at the time of Jesus's crucifixion was Herod Antipas. He ruled over Galilee and Perea during Jesus's ministry, and it was Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, who ultimately ordered the crucifixion of Jesus.
According to Mat 1:3 and Luke 3:33-34 and Jesus is descended from Jacob's son Judah. "Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob [also called Israel] the father of Judah and his brothers, Judah the father of Perez and Zerah" [Mat 1:2-3]
Jews...
Because he is their ultimate ruler AND saviour.Jewish AnswerOne of the types of moshiachim is a king. Therefore, the Christians called Jesus the King of the Jews because that's the type of moshiach that many of the Jews were hoping for 2000 years ago. However, this is specifically a Christian claim and is not accepted by Jews.

The answer is King Herod There was no longer a kingdom of Israel at the time attributed to the birth of Jesus. The southern state of Judah, known to the Romans as Judea, was the homeland of the Jews and had gradually expanded since the time of the Maccabeans to include the former territory of Israel. Both Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel say that Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod the Great. Herod was an Idumean and was imposed on Judea by Roman military might, one reason that he was very unpopular among the Jews.
Jesus grew up in the town of Nazareth, in an area called Galilee, in northern Palestine.
