Can they vote for seats in Israel’s government? My understanding is not.

Of course not. That's what happens when Israel doesn't rule over that territory any longer. Can Israelis vote on the government of Gaza?

  Israel courts have jurisdiction over Palestine. As does Israel's army. Palestinian land records are not recognized by Israel. Palestine is a part of Israel, where the people cant vote in Israel's elections. Israel is an apartheid state like erstwhile south Africa and Palestine is a bantustan.

    West Bank Palestine? Perhaps. Gaza (which was the context)? I doubt it. Don't conflate the two situations. They aren't the same at all.

    Israel courts have zero jurisdiction in Gaza. Gaza's government, police, and politics, are completely independent from Israel.

        No you cant. Egypt coordinates with Israel. Gaza is the world's largest open air prison. Also, you cant get a visa stamp for entry from the mythical embassy of gaza in the United states. Heck, you cant even leave Gaza. Forget about entering. Millions of people travel to Israel every year; some of them go farther into the West Bank, but there’s a place over there which almost nobody has visited before – the Gaza Strip. Gaza, like the West Bank, is surrounded by a large military wall with access only possible via two entrances, one from Israel (Erez crossing) and the other from Egypt (Rafah crossing). It is important to note that due to the siege on Gaza imposed by Israel and in cooperation with the current regime in Egypt, getting into Gaza is, physically and bureaucratically, very difficult. Gaza is not open to individuals wishing to travel or explore the region per say, but to those with a connection to international organisations or journalists, for example. In order to gain access to Gaza, you must have a legitimate reason to enter before you can apply for either an Israeli or Egyptian travel permit. Most travel via Egypt using the Rafah crossing.
