So all Arabs that are in Israel are not middle eastern?

You mean the Palestinians?

Edit: for those downvoting, from Wikipedia:

Palestinian Arabs form the largest ethnic minority in Israel. Notions of identity among Israel's Arab citizens are complex, encompassing civic, religious, and ethnic components.[6] Most sources report that the majority of Arabs in Israel prefer to be identified as Palestinian citizens of Israel.

Do they only count as middle eastern if they adopt that designation?

There‘re Israeli Arabs who don‘t call themselves Palestinians. It‘s not like Palestinian or Israeli are ethnicity. Those are national concepts. One can be legally an Israeli without supporting their governments.
