'Few extra bombs and missiles won't transform situation', says UK

David Cameron however vowed to persuade UK to vote for military action in Syria

London

: British Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday asserted that a 'few extra bombs and missiles will not transform the situation' in Syria, following French President’s call for global fight-back against Islamic State, which claimed responsibility for the deadly Paris attacks.

Cameron, however, did express solidarity with France and called for his country to join airstrikes against the Islamic State. The Prime Minister is facing strong opposition from the UK parliament, which is against any military action in Syria. Cameron said he did not have enough support and is yet to persuade UK MPs to vote for military action.

Cameron said Britain must show the same resolve it displayed against Hitler during the Blitz in order to defeat the threat of terrorism, announcing plans for a significant boost in spending on special forces.

France is planning to hold talks with US and Russia to increase offensive against the ISIS had said that it would 'appreciate' it if Britain too joined its fight to avenge the brutal killings of innocent civilians.

With more global powers pledging their support to crush the ISIS, Cameron vowed to build a strong case for military action in ISIS-held Syria. The UK PM said that it makes no sense for the RAF to respect an international border which is no longer recognised by Jihadis who are constantly plotting attacks on Britain.

The government wants to seek parliamentary approval to extend these to Syria if it can secure a consensus across parties.

However, the left-wing leader of the main opposition Labour party, Jeremy Corbyn, is opposed to any such action.

\"France's fight is our fight and we've made it very clear to them this terror is just two hours away, it's on our doorstep,\" Fallon said on Monday.

\"Their fight is our fight and we have to now look at all the options to help join in that fight,\" he said, adding that France, Turkey and the United States would \"welcome\" British involvement in the campaign.

Fallon referred to a previous vote in 2013 when Prime Minister David Cameron's previous government suffered a scarring defeat over its plan to join international military action over the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons in Syria, due to Labour opposition.

\"We have made it clear we need the consent of parliament to do this and we need to build that agreement amongst MPs,\" Fallon said.

\"It's a new parliament since the vote two years ago. That vote was before ISIL began its campaign and it was on a slightly different issue. But we have to persuade enough MPs that you simply can't now rule out any military option,\" he said.

Asked about the possibility of a vote on air strikes, Cameron told BBC radio Monday: \"I need to build the argument, I need to convince more people, but in the end parliament must decide.\"

French President Francois Hollande has vowed to destroy the Islamic State group after its atrocities in Paris, promising tough new anti-terror measures at home and intensified bombing of Syria.
