Those Palestinians who live in Israel are citizens, and they can and
do vote.  There are several Palestinian political parties represented
in the Knesset.

Those Palestinians who live in the Administered Territories are not
citizens and don't vote.  If Israel annexed those territories, the
residents would become citizens (as the residents of East Jerusalem
did) and would be eligible to vote.
