Why is asking Netanyahu to resign "regime change"
Because it is? LOL. Netanyahu resigning would mean a new regime (PM) comes in.

Don't get me wrong, I want Netanyahu to resign because he's a POS. However, Biden calling for him to resign would be ineffective.

Why would this be less effective than calling for "cease fire", which so many progressives have been asking for Biden to do for months?

Israel's democracy allows for the PM to resign and for snap elections. The opposition supports this all the time.
Yeah, and that's for the Israelis to decide.

The only exception to "not calling for a regime change" is when a country is not a democracy and/or has a sham democracy.

Israel is arguably a sham democracy given that they deny almost half the residents of the country basic citizenship and voting rights.
Yes, I know Israel is a sham democracy. I happen to be a Palestinian American

Are we really still talking about the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem?

The term used “regime change” while accurate is not commonly used in this context. No one considered Biden beating Trump to be regime change. That term is usually referred when a democracy becomes a dictatorship for example
The term "regime change" is often used in the context of a forced change in the governmental apparatus of a country (especially by meddling from outside forces).

Asking Netanyahu isn’t forcing a change of apparatus. Israel would continue to be a parliamentary democracy with free elections (I use the terms democracy and free lightly here)

If Biden demanded Rishi Sunak resign, no one would consider that regime change. At least when that term is traditionally used

When Biden urged Liz Truss to go with her proposed economic package, he was essentially asking her to resign since such a colossal failure of your key platform idea made her continued premiership impossible

Well, I disagree with you. However, it's obvious neither of us are going to convince each other, so I'll leave it at that.
