Can an Indonesian marriage with an Israeli?

Legally, yes. If you are Indonesian and have your sights set on an Israeli man or woman, then make sure that they don't mind marriage with non-Jews. Then, find out if their parents are okay with it. The reason being for that, is if the Israeli is into Judaism (or in the future could possibly be), then that Israeli will want to know if you will follow them into Judaism and raise your kids together that way.
