The Egyptians turned against the Israelites primarily due to their increasing population and perceived threat. As the Israelites multiplied, the Pharaoh feared they might become too powerful and potentially ally with Egypt's enemies.

The growing resentment and fear among the Egyptians contributed to their harsh treatment of the Israelites.
