The Israelites ended as soon as the Ministry of Jesus Christ began.
Why? The Bible states who will get into Heaven, and how many (144,000 of such and such a tribe, etc). It never mentions that this is or isn't first come, first serve.
Suppose all these places were filled by the tribes of Israel, so no one else is getting into Heaven, even members of those tribes. However, we can still potentially avoid Hell. How? By following Jesus Christ anyone can be "saved", not just Israelites.
Therefore, the distinction of Israelite is meaningless from that point onward.
