Does Catholicism teach that the Wise Men from the East in fact, Jews settled in a far away place?

At Matthew 2:16 (RSVCE), we read about the visit of the Wise Men to Infant Jesus, and the massacre of children by Herod : > "Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men." That implies that Child Jesus was nearly two years of age when the Wise Men reached Him. Surely, they should have come from a far away place. The book "Travel in the Mogul Empire AD 1656- 1668" by Francois Bernier, with an English translation published in 1891 (available online on Rarebooks online State Central Library, Kerala), cites the presence of settlement of Jews in Kashmir, India in ancient times. Of course, other parts of the world could also have had Jewish settlements at the time of Jesus' birth. My question, therefore, is: **Were the Wise Men from the East, in fact, Jews who had settled in a far away place, say India? What do the teachings of Catholic Church say about such a prospect?**
