Answer:

The leadership of the Israelites was similar to that of other ancient river civilizations because it promoted the adoption of very strict rules based on their religion. Furthermore, they had as a base for the society the adoption of a single God.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Israelites are an ancient civilization that has survived through the years, unlike most civilizations that settled in the same era.

They were a river civilization, which means that they grew up along a river, which was common for civilizations that depended on agriculture for their survival. Other ancient river civilizations shared characteristics similar to those shown by Israeli leaders. The main characteristic was the statement, by the leader, of strict and very strict rules that should be followed by everyone, without exception, and that was very based on the religion they adopted. Furthermore, although many of these leaders adopted polytheism, the Israelites, among other civilizations, such as the Sumerians were monotheists, that is, they had a religion devoted to one God.
