If the intended phrasing was Israelis and Palestinians (i.e. both groups of people), there are an incredible number of disagreements between the Israelis and Palestinians and I invite you to read more about them here. If I had to choose the most important of those disagreements, it would be that both Israelis and Palestinians wish to each create a sovereign nation where they have power to create a dominant religious/secular, cultural, and legal systems and are unwilling to cede to the other specific key areas of the territory that would be requisite for that.

However, the question specifically phrases it as Israel and the Palestinians, (i.e. Israel as country or the government of that country and Palestinians as a group of people). The Israeli government has no issues with Palestinians per se; there are over 1.6 million Palestinian citizens of Israel and around 300,000 Palestinian permanent residents. The Israeli government, however, has a vested interest in keeping Israel as a state with a Jewish majority in order to preserve its identity and so the desire that the worldwide 11 million Palestinian population has to live in the lands under Israeli sovereignty necessarily threatens that goal. This results in antagonism between the Palestinians and the Israeli government, which has come to blows at several points in the history of Israeli-Palestinian relations.

Major disagreement between Palestinians and Israel?

The major disagreements between the "Palestinians" and the state of Israel narrow down to two brazen aspects of Israel's behavior in rejection of almost universal world opinion: -- The obstinate insistence of Israel on its right to exist as a Jewish state in the Middle East, and on its unapologetic intention to continue doing so. -- The stubborn refusal of Israel and its people to die in armed conflict, to accept rocketing of their residential areas with a wink and a smile, and in general to relinquish their uppity attitudes and just go away.

What are the obstacles to peace for Israel and the Arab World?

There is a fundamental disagreement between Israel and the Arab world, based upon the Israeli determination to have a Jewish homeland in the traditional historical location of Israel, and the Arab belief that this territory was seized illegally from its true owners, the Palestinians, and must be returned to them. Jews and Arabs both feel that their position is required for the well being of their ethnic group, and for religious reasons as well. The territory of Israel/Palestine is considered holy to three of the world's major religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and all three have fought wars over the possession of that holy land. These kind of disagreements are very difficult to resolve since no one wants to compromise.

How have Israelis treated the Palestinians?

Israel and the State of Palestine are major enemies. They have been conflicting since the formation of the Jewish state in 1948. Israel and Palestine have been involved in several wars, all of which Israel has won. Israel is a greater military power than Palestine, which is why Israel has won more wars and killed more Palestinians in the process. However, the Israelis are only defending their nation. Israel has occupied Palestine for almost sixty years. Israel has the right to protect itself against attacks, and has a strict military policy to protect itself because it is surrounded by enemy nations. The current government of Palestine is regarded as a terrorist organization by many countries, such as Israel and the United States, which is why Israel is especially cautious.

What is the major conflict between Jews and Palestinians?

The Jews began returning to their ancient homeland in the late 19th Century. The Jewish National Fund bought up large areas of swampland and desert in Palestine. It was land that was unoccupied. The Palestinians started minor incursions with Jewish villages starting in the 1920's, but it escalated into war when Israel declared statehood in 1948. The original plan was to create two countries. The Jews accepted this plan and the Palestinians did not. The Israeli government is officially still willing to entertain a two-state solution, but the Palestinian Authority officially rejects this plan and officially refuses to recognize Israel.
