If by "regime change" you are referring to how the latest round of elections resulted in a new prime minister along with a new, shaky coalition consisting of a motley crew of anti-Netanyahu parties...I'm curious why you believe this was driven by outside criticism of Israel.
It's hard to know why people vote the way they do, but my feeling is that if anything, external criticism and increased global isolation is good for the Netanyahu camp and plays into his political strategy. The anti-Netanyahu camp is driven by frustration with corruption (and his efforts to fight a police investigation from office) and perhaps lack of progress on domestic issues.
I don't think international criticism can take much, if any credit for the new government.
