London, (IINA) - Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron stated on Wednesday that the UK will not rule out unilateral strikes if the United Nations does not agree on military action against ISIS, Anadolu Agency reported.
Cameron stated: “It is always preferable in these circumstances to have the full backing of the United Nations Security Council but I have to say what matters most of all is that any action we would take would both be legal and would help protect our country and our people right here".
His comments came after a survey found that just 15 percent of British respondents believed the UK should, like France, launch immediate unilateral air strikes against ISIS in Syria.
According to the Survation opinion poll conducted after the Paris attacks, 52 percent agreed the UK should “engage with all countries to coordinate an appropriate response, military or otherwise, backed by a United Nations resolution”.
However, in response to a question from the Scottish National Party leader in Westminster, Cameron said: “My job frankly as Prime Minister is not to read a Survation opinion poll, but it's to do the right thing to keep our country safe”.
Cameron had said the case for UK strikes had “grown stronger” since the Paris attacks and that he would outline his strategy for defeating ISIS before the end of November.
