He wants to get more involved in the fight against IS.

(Baonghean.vn) - In an interview on NBC, British Prime Minister David Cameron expressed his desire for Britain to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the US to intervene more deeply in the fight against ISIS in Syria. Of course, this is only David Cameron's personal wish, because if he wants any intervention abroad, he still needs parliamentary approval.

On Sunday, July 19th, British Prime Minister Cameron stated that he was discussing the issue, including with opposition parties. At the same time, Cameron pledged to do everything possible to destroy the self-proclaimed "Caliphate" state that IS declared in Syria and Iraq in 2014.

It is known that, during the fight against IS, although the British Air Force regularly conducted airstrikes in Iraq, its operations in Syrian territory were limited to surveillance and intelligence gathering.

Previously, on July 17th, the Ministry of Defence issued a statement regarding the participation of numerous British pilots, in conjunction with US and Canadian forces, in airstrikes in Syria. This angered many MPs who felt the government had overstepped its parliamentary authority.

On July 20th, the British Prime Minister will also deliver a speech against extremist and conservative ideologies. According to a source from Cameron's office, the speech will address the "need to eradicate the roots of extremism, especially ISIS." In addition, Cameron will issue a warning to citizens who are being tempted by the 700 Britons currently fighting in the ranks of ISIS in Iraq and Syria.
