Is Israel currently controlling the West Bank and Gaza Strip?

This question is complex. Many claim that Israel is in complete control of both, but in actuality, this is not the case.
Gaza is not directly controlled by Israel. There are minimal, if any, Israeli soldiers, policemen or any other Israeli government apparatus inside of Gaza. However, the Strip is actively blockaded and there are targeted air-strikes against the Hamas leadership, because of terrorist attacks against Israel.
It is Hamas who has direct control of Gaza and is generally responsible for insuring the peace and security of the territory, in which it has failed miserably (or, perhaps more accurately, intentionally run into the ground).
The West Bank is partially controlled by Israel. The West Bank is divided in regions called Category A regions, Category B regions, and Category C regions. Category A regions are primarily ruled by the Palestinian Authority, but with assistance from the Israeli military. More recently, Category A regions have become more independent, especially with the debut of the Palestinian Authority Police Department.
In Category B regions,Israel has security control of the area and has transferred control of civil matters to the Palestinians.
In Category C regions, Israel has retained almost complete control, through the presence of the Israeli military or Israeli settlements, all of which are claimed to be illegal under international law by most international observers and some of which are illegal under Israeli law as well. (There is, of course, debate about whether the building of the settlements is legal or illegal.)

Who has more land Palestine or Israel?
It depends on your terms. If you are referring to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip cumulatively as Palestine and the 1949 borders of the State of Israel as Israel, then Israel is 3x larger than Palestine. If you are referring to the British Mandate of Palestine, then the State of Israel according to 1949 borders is smaller than Palestine. If you are comparing the current areas under Israeli control to the area of Mandatory Palestine, they are roughly equal. (The gain in the Golan Heights is more-or-less offset by the loss of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank Zone A regions.)

Is Tel Aviv in the Gaza strip or the west bank?
The City of Tel Aviv is in neither the Gaza Strip nor the West Bank, the city is in Israel proper. Tel Aviv is usually recognized as the capital of Israel, Gaza City as the capital of the Gaza Strip, and Ramallah as the capital of the West Bank. Note that both Israel and Palestine claim Jerusalem as their capital, yet as no embassies exist there, the international community does not generally recognize it as a capital city for either side.

Why doesn't Israel hand Gaza to the Egyptians?
There are several reasons why this cannot happen 1) Israel cannot just 'hand Gaza to the Egyptians' as it is currently under Palestinian/Hamas rule. Israel disengaged from the Gaza strip in September 2005, and it has been under Palestinian rule since then. First under Fatah, and subsequently Hamas. 2) The Gaza strip is not an occupied territory that belongs to Egypt 3) The Egyptians do not want to control the Gaza strip 4) The Palestinians want an independent country that include TheGaza strip and the West Bank and they don't want to be ruled by the Egyptians
