British Prime Minister David Cameron is expected to outline his plan for combatting the Islamic State group this week as he moves toward seeking Parliament’s approval for airstrikes on the group’s Syrian strongholds.
The Sunday Times said Cameron will publish a seven-point plan on Syria this week that will include a blueprint for the nation’s future.
Foreign Minister Philip Hammond has said Cameron will go to Parliament once he believes there is a consensus in favor of airstrikes.
Cameron expects the passage of a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for united action against the Islamic State group to bolster his chances in Parliament.
Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has warned about the risks of military intervention but said he will listen to the government’s proposal.

Brussels residents are waking up to largely empty streets as the city enters its second day under the highest threat level and the manhunt continues for a suspect missing since the Nov. 13 attacks in France.
Belgium’s national Crisis Center on Saturday raised the threat alert in the Brussels region to Level 4, which indicates a “serious and immediate threat.”
Subways and underground trams remain closed Sunday and officials recommended that sports competitions and all activities in public buildings should be cancelled and malls and commercial centers closed.
Belgian officials say the measures were recommended due to the extra security they would require. The country’s Regional Security Council is set to meet Sunday afternoon to update any new measures needed.
