‘UK parliament to vote on air raids against Daesh in Syria’
The British parliament plans to vote on whether or not to join the airstrikes against the Daesh (ISIL) Takfiri terrorist group in Syria.
According to the Sunday Times newspaper, British Prime Minister David Cameron wants to hold a vote in parliament in early October to pave the way for airstrikes against Daesh in the Middle Eastern country.
Cameron has already suggested that he would like to ask Britain's parliament to vote to join the so-called US-led campaign against the militants in Syria, after UK lawmakers rejected military strikes in the Arab country in 2013.
However, he announced on Friday that he would seek general consensus before putting the proposal before the parliament.
Cameron hopes to gain the support of the opposition Labour party, but that depends on who wins in Labour leadership elections in September.
Cameron has also said that he would drop the vote if Labour frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn becomes the next party leader.
This is while opinion polls show Corbyn, who has been a long-time opponent of Britain’s wars in the Middle East, is the favorite to win the vote.
Back in July, British media reported that a number of UK pilots secretly took part in anti-ISIL bombing campaign in Syria despite the 2013 parliamentary vote against any military action in the war-hit Arab nation.
