There are very few Egyptian Jews in Israel today. Egypt forced its Jews to leave in the late 1940s and early 1950s; most of these people are no longer alive.

"The result was the almost complete disappearance of the Jewish community in Egypt, only a hundred or so remain. Most Egyptian Jews fled to Israel (35,000), Brazil (15,000), France (10,000), the US (9,000) or Argentina (9,000). Today, anti-semitism is common in the media, and the Jewish population is minimal -- the last Jewish wedding took place in 1984."

There were long time ago, but they died, their grandchildren and children are alive, I had some friends in Israel whom grandparents were born in Egypt!

Sure there are. Can't say how many though. People marry, have children, have grandchildren. How can you tell? But they're defenitely here! :)
