US Secretary of State John Kerry will meet foreign ministers from around the world in Paris on Monday to discuss how to defeat Islamic State (IS) militants.
French President Francois Hollande said the beheading of a British aid worker showed the world must act against IS.
About 40 countries, including 10 Arab states, have signed up to a coalition to help fight IS in Iraq and Syria.
Several Arab countries have offered to take part in air strikes on IS fighters in Iraq, US officials say.
Mr Kerry says he is "extremely encouraged" by promises of military assistance to tackle the militant group.
He spoke after a whirlwind tour of the Middle East to try to drum up support for a plan of action unveiled by US President Barack Obama last week.

"US Secretary of State John Kerry will meet foreign ministers from around the world in Paris on Monday to discuss how to defeat Islamic State (IS) militants."
And at the conference he will boldly announce that IS is NOT Islam, and NOT a state,and we are NOT at war with it. So--PEACE has been achieved.
Conference adjourned--tee time!

Ten Arab states? Let’s see... Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia; Egypt, UAE, Qatar; Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon; Oman; Yemen; Libya; Algeria; Tunisia; Morocco... how many more are there? And obviously some of these can’t participate (Libya and Lebanon, although the Iranian thugs the Hizbollah do illegally occupy southern Lebanon). Thanks BenLurkin.

French President Francois Hollande said the beheading of a British aid worker showed the world must act against IS. If he really said that, I must conclude his frontal lobe synapses fire at the rate of about one every five minutes.
