Orzo could work as a substitute. You could also try whole wheat regular couscous (not Israeli)

The recipe would need to be adapted for a regular couscous, as the written recipes cooking instuctions would leave you with a "mushy" dish. Perhaps try replacing some of the called for liquid in a standard the stand couscous directions with some citrus juice, and add in the garnishes at the end. Could result in a delicous new dish for you! Good luck

Israeli couscous is just small round shaped pasta so any other tiny pasta would be a perfectly good alternative.

I think you can use acini de pepe ("peppercorn")pasta. All the big brands make this shape.
