British Prime Minister David Cameron has secured the support of the required number of votes in the House of Commons to authorize parliamentary bombing by the Royal Air Force of the positions of the terrorist group Islamic State (IS) banned in Russia in Syria, The Telegraph reports. Thus, the vote should take place on Thursday. Previously, David Cameron announced that he would not put the issue up for a vote in parliament unless he was sure that he had the required number of votes.

Previously, the Tory party doubted that parliament would pass the initiative on the operation in Syria. However, their opinion changed after about two dozen MPs from the Conservative Party spoke in favor of launching an operation in Syria. According to the report, 115 out of 231 representatives of the Labor Party of Parliament are also in favor of striking IS positions in Syria.

As Kommersant reported , Russian Ambassador to Great Britain Alexander Yakovenko called on the country's armed forces to join the fight against IS militants. Let us remind you that the British authorities will increase defense spending and rebuild the army due to the terrorist threat that hangs over the world. This was stated by British Prime Minister David Cameron, presenting the country's new national security strategy in parliament. Britain intends to spend at least £178 billion ($269.3 billion) over the next ten years on the purchase of new military equipment and its maintenance alone. In addition, Prime Minister Cameron said that he intends to achieve British participation in airstrikes on Syrian territories controlled by radical Islamists.
