Israeli Jewish and Arabs look similar, they look like blood brothers.
Arab is a pan cultural group. Arabs can be of any phenotype, race or any religion.
Next & importantly, Arab & Jewish are NOT mutually exclusive. Palestinian & Jewish are NOT mutually exclusive either. There are many ARAB JEWS and there are also many PALESTINIAN JEWS as well :
The Arab Jews: A Postcolonial Reading of Nationalism, Religion, and Ethnicity:
"This book is about the social history of the Arab Jews—Jews living in Arab countries—against the backdrop of Zionist nationalism. By using the term "Arab Jews" (rather than "Mizrahim," which literally means "Orientals") the book challenges the binary opposition between Arabs and Jews in Zionist discourse, a dichotomy that renders the linking of Arabs and Jews in this way inconceivable. It also situates the study of the relationships between Mizrahi Jews and Ashkenazi Jews in the context of early colonial encounters between the Arab Jews and the European Zionist emissaries—prior to the establishment of the state of Israel and outside Palestine. It argues that these relationships were reproduced upon the arrival of the Arab Jews to Israel. The book also provides a new prism for understanding the intricate relationships between the Arab Jews and the Palestinian refugees of 1948, a link that is usually obscured or omitted by studies that are informed by Zionist historiography. Finally, the book uses the history of the Arab Jews to transcend the assumptions necessitated by the Zionist perspective, and to open the door for a perspective that sheds new light on the basic assumptions upon which Zionism was founded.":
UAE, Yemen, Jordania, Irak, Syria, Lebanon, Palestina
Arabs live in the Middle East, Asian Continent.
Arabs do not equate with Muslims since there are Arabs that are Christian.
And there are Arabs that are JEWS as well!

Neither Syria nor Lebanon are located in the Arabian Peninsula. For Jordan, only its southern is located in the Arabian peninsula. For Iraq, only its western part is located in the Arabian peninsula. Most of eastern Iraqis are originally Iranian, northern Iraq are mainly Kurds
Countries located edge of Strait of Hormuz to northern side of the Persian Gulf in Arabian Peninsula comes mind. (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait)

Thanks Davy-040 for explaining the meaning of plate. I can see the reason why that plate called the Arabian plate as the Arabian peninsula makes the largest portion of it

Israeli Jews that came from Arab countries look the same as Arabs but the Israeli Ashkenazi Jews don't.
In general when I hear Arabs I think of anyone that comes from either a Middle East country (except Israel although there are Israeli Arabs) or a Northern Africa one.
