"Of course, the Orthodix Rabbis will not participate in or recongnize the marriage, but the State of Israel does"

Umm...how can this be, since Israel doesn't recognise civil marriages, only religious ones?

Israel recognizes non-Jewish marriages. The fact is that a Jew and a non-Jew can get married by a minister or priest, if that's their choice, and that marriage will be recognized.
