There is no one "Israeli" form of Judaism. In Israel, there are Ultra-Orthodox, Orthodox, Modern Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and entirely secular Jews. There are also Israeli citizens who aren't Jewish at all.
As for representing Orthodox Judaism, I think you'd find that some Orthodox Jews agreed with his views and others did not -- just as you'd expect. Again, "Orthodox" is merely a general, collective term for various branches or subgroups of Judaism.
