Ari Harow, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s chief of staff for a year starting in mid-2014 will begin giving testimony tomorrow in the premier’s corruption trial.

Harow is the third and final state witness scheduled to give evidence at the trial.

The US-born Harow — who during part of his year with Netanyahu also served as temporary head of the prime minister’s bureau — turned state witness and agreed to provide information in return for a lighter punishment for separate charges against him relating to an alleged conflict of interest over a business he held.
