Aevamo’s reading
Regulation (EU) 2018/1806 is the instrument that creates the obligation: Article 3(1) requires nationals of Annex I third countries to be in possession of a visa when crossing the external borders, and Article 4(1) grants the Annex II exemption. The Schengen Borders Code supplies the 90-in-180 duration but does not itself impose or waive the visa requirement.
Article 3(1) requires nationals of the third countries listed in Annex I to be in possession of a visa when crossing the external borders, and Annex I names each of these issuers (including The Palestinian Authority in section 2); none of them appears in Annex II, so no visa exemption applies to them and the visa requirement governs.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
The rule is one instrument covering 29 places, so this answer is the same for Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Switzerland, Czechia, Germany and 22 more .
