Prophet Jacob, who was surnamed Israel, meaning the servant or slave of God, and is praised in the Quran many times.
The expression sons of Israel is used many times in the Quran.

So the expression 'sons of Israel' implies: Your father Jacob or Israel was righteous and Godfearing, why don't you be like him?
In fact, you have become devils and God's enemies instead of becoming righteous people with good manners and kindness to people.

So Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Prophet Abraham, was lauded in the Quran, like this aya in the Quran 12: 68, which means:
([Jacob] possessed a knowledge which We taught him, but most people do not know [the truth.])

The illusion of the Israelites
They think that God loves and prefers them to other nations, but this is incorrect. God loves the righteous, whether of the Israelites or of others, and He dislikes the hard-hearted and transgressors of any origin.

For this reason, Jesus Christ condemned the Israelites who believed they were the sons of the Prophet Abraham, and so they engaged in every evil work and transgressed against people and plundered their rights.

Matthew 3:9
"And do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham."

Disparaging the Jews in the Gospel


When God told Abraham that he will make him a religious leader of humanity, Abraham prayed to Him to make religious leaders out of his descendants also, but God responded to him that He will make religious leaders out of his descendants, but that His promise did not include the wrongdoers and transgressors. To these God will be angry and will punish them severely in this World and the Hereafter.

The sons of Israel had many prophets out of themselves
How is the prophet chosen by God to be a prophet?
The prophet is kind-hearted, helps people, especially the weak, and shows kindness to orphans and widows.
This is the reason why God made Joseph a prophet and a messenger to the people of Egypt.

Quran 12: 22, which means
(And when [Joseph] reached his full strength [at the age of twenty-one], We offered him ‘authority and rulership’ [in Egypt], along with knowledge [about the interpretation of dreams and others].
We thus reward those who excel [in their work and conscience before God, and who are kind to people].
)

https://quran-ayat.com/pret/12.htm#a12_24

And this is why God made Moses a prophet and a messenger, in the Quran 28: 14, which means:
(And when [Moses] attained his full strength [at his age of thirty], and reached his maturity [of wisdom at his age of forty], We gave him authority [with the miracles] and knowledge [about the religion and the Torah.]
Thus do We reward those [of your nation, O Mohammed,] that are kind.
)
