Ari Harow, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s former bureau chief who turned state’s witness and testified against the premier, has been charged with fraud and breach of trust, under a state deal that will see him avoid jail time.
Harow, who provided testimony in the so-called cases 1000 and 2000 on Netanyahu, is expected to be fined NIS 700,000 and given six months of community service over allegedly fictitiously selling his international consulting company.
Shortly after his resignation as Netanyahu’s bureau chief in 2010, the American-born Harow founded the consulting firm 3H Global. When he returned to serve as Netanyahu’s bureau chief in 2014, he claimed to have cut all ties with the company, but covered up an ongoing connection, according to the charge sheet. According to the company’s website, the firm was set up “to help governments, NGOs and businesses.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
