I'm pretty sure they can compete in most sports. I don't believe any nation is banned from playing tennis and the only time I can find was when Belarus and Russia were banned from playing temporarily. This was at Wimbledon. The backlash from tennis fans and players was so swift and profound that the ruling was overruled almost immediately.
Perhaps Palestinian players actually can compete but just aren't good enough to get on the world's stage. They do have their own professional tennis organization after all.
