The ashkenazi population is about 30% of Israeli Jews, and Arab Israelis are about 21% of the population.
Palestinians have a fair amount of Anatolian, Lebanese, Armenian, and Iranian ancestry. So again there’s quite a bit of phenotypic variation. There’s also a high degree of genetic relatedness to even the Ashkenazi Jews.
In practice if you lined up 100 random Israelis and Palestinians you aren’t going to reliably determine who is who based on appearances.
