WASHINGTON - Former senior Israeli officials on Sunday warned on CNN that Israel's democracy was at existential risk due to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's planned judicial overhaul. Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni appeared on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, the news network's flagship Sunday talk show regarding foreign affairs. "Many political leaders say the reforms will destroy Israel's democracy. Livni told Zakaria that "these are not judicial reforms, it's about changes in the nature of Israel as a democracy." She further noted the importance of the U.S. and American Jews in the fight for Israeli democracy.
