Can two members of the Greek Orthodox Church who live in Israel but who married abroad in a civil ceremony divorce here ?

Yes. Greek Orthodox Christians can divorce in Israel as their faith is recognised and has its own court system which has jurisdiction over the matter. This is so even if they married in a civil ceremony abroad.
