As of right now (May 2014), nobody is.
Until a few weeks ago, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority were competing for political power in those areas, but they signed an agreement a few weeks ago, and they are presently making nice in public.
In an overarching and general sense, the Israelis and the Palestinians are fighting over the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. However, the Israeli government has already ceded the claim on the Gaza Strip to the Palestinians and claims that it is willing to devolve control of most of the West Bank to Palestinians as well.

∙ 7y agoThe Israeli government and the Palestinian governments (Palestinian Authority and Hamas) are fighting over control of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. While it is the case that Israeli forces are predominantly made of ETHNIC JEWS and Palestinian forces are predominantly made of ETHNIC ARABS, there are minorities on both sides who do not fit easily into these categories.

Are there any Palestinian Resistance movements within Israel?
Of course! There are signs of Palestinian resistance everywhere within Israel proper and the Palestinian Territories. Many Arab Israeli citizens identify as Palestinian and with the Palestinian cause, although they do not necessarily want to move to the West Bank. The whole concept of the "right of return" is demonstrative of the Palestinian desire for autonomy and equality within Israel proper. There are also a number of organizations and groups run by Jewish Israelis such as Rabbis for Human Rights and Peace Now, which support Palestinian people within Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Resistance can be defined in many ways and take many forms, which do not necessarily need to be associated with political parties.
