European countries, led by Denmark, are pushing for an emergency UN Security Council meeting next week to challenge Israel's E1 settlement project, which threatens to separate East Jerusalem from the West Bank and carve up Palestinian territories.
The Israeli plan calls for the establishment of 3,401 illegal housing blocks east of Jerusalem.
The European initiative aims to intervene before Israel opens applications for 1,234 housing units on November 19.
Meanwhile, Israel is reported to be coordinating with the United States and Greece to disrupt the emergency meeting.
