Palestinian schoolchildren are being taught how to stab Jewish people, Israel's new ambassador to the United Nations has claimed.

Before the start of a UN Security Council meeting in New York on Friday, Danny Danon held up a diagram of the human body entitled 'How to stab a Jew'. He alleged the same image was being shown to young Palestinian students, who are 'taught how to hate'.

These claims, which have not been independently verified, come during a period of great tension in Jerusalem and the West Bank, where at least 41 Palestinians and seven Israelis have been killed in recent street violence.

Palestinians burned tyres and threw rocks during clashes in the West Bank city of Hebron today, where four alleged Palestinian knife attackers were shot dead yesterday.

Meanwhile, police have had to remove dozens of Jewish worshippers from the Joseph's Tomb compound in Nablus, which is under full Palestinian control.

Israel has rejected a proposal to send international observers to Joseph's Tomb in a bid to calm tensions at the site.

The country's army had to remove dozens of ultra-Orthodox Jewish worshippers who clashed with Palestinians after entering the site illegally today.

The area is under full control of the Palestinian National Authority but Jewish prayer is permitted there when coordinated with authorities.

On Friday, a group of Palestinians firebombed the West Bank compound in the first assault of its kind on a religious site.

Violence erupted a month ago around Jewish New Year - fueled by the belief that Israel was plotting to take over Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site, known as Temple Mount to Jews and the al-Aqsa Mosque to Muslims. Israel denied the allegations.

41 Palestinians and seven Israelis have died in recent street violence, which was in part triggered by Palestinians' anger over what they see as increased Jewish encroachment on Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque

Eight Israelis have been killed in Palestinian knife attacks since. Of the 41 Palestinians who were killed by Israeli fire in that time, 19 were labeled as attackers and the rest died in clashes with Israeli troops.

Israel has responded to the violence by deploying more soldiers in Israeli cities, setting up concrete barriers between Jewish and Arab neighbourhoods and giving the police powers to effectively stop and search anyone on the street.

Meanwhile, 'half a dozen' cities including Tel Aviv have barred Jewish and Arab workers from schools due to fears of potential attacks.

A spokesperson for the Tel Aviv said 'both Jewish and Arab' cleaners and maintenance workers were banned from schools when students are present but almost all of them are Arab-Israelis.

Arab-Israeli parliamentarian, Issawi Freij, branded the move 'racist'.

He wrote on his Facebook page: 'In days of raging incitement and hatred, the educational system should have spearheaded the battle against racism and led coexistence and partnership. Instead it has become a source of racism and discrimination.'

Diplomatic moves to halt the unrelenting violence gripping Israel and the West Bank gained some momentum, as US Secretary of State John Kerry said he planned to meet both the Israeli and Palestinian leaders in the coming days.

He said he would meet Netanyahu in Germany before meeting Abbas and Jordan's King Abdullah at an unspecified location in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, the mayor of New York City has called for an end to attacks by Palestinians against Israelis.

'People are struggling because of the violence,' said Bill de Blasio on a three-day trip to Israel, desribing the attacks on civilians as 'unconscionable and unacceptable according to all our values and it is something that must end'.

But at the start of a cabinet meeting Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also rejected the idea from France that would see international observers sent to Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque compound.
