Arminka Helic was Chief of Staff to First Secretary of State William Hague.[1] After Hague's transfer to Leader of the House of Commons, Helic is now working in a general election strategy role for him. [2]
Background
Dr Helic is a Bosnian Muslim and foreign policy expert who became a Conservative adviser after fleeing the Yugoslav conflict of the 1990s.[3]
In the aftermath of Israel's 2006 attack on Lebanon, there were rumours that Hague's apparent criticism of Israel - in his remark that "elements of the Israeli response are disproportionate" - reflected the influence of Helic, given his previously staunch support for Israel.[4]
