Two Sydney nurses claimed they would kill Israeli patients. One was just charged.

On February 12, a video of two Sydney nurses claiming that they would kill Israeli patients came to the attention of NSW Police.

The clip was posted by Israeli influencer Max Veifer, and featured an online conversation between him and nurses Ahmed Rashid Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, who worked at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital in Sydney's southwest. 

In the video, one of the nurses claims that they send Israeli patients to 'hell', while another said, "I won't treat them, I'll kill them."

In the two weeks since, police have been investigating the claims as a part of Strike Force Pearl. 

Around 6am on February 26, police announced that they had charged a 26-year-old woman in relation to the video, after she went into Sutherland police station last night. Her home was raided earlier this week.

She has been charged with three commonwealth offences, including threatening violence to a group, using carriage service to threaten to kill and using a carriage service to menace/harass/offend.

In addition to the charges, Australia's health practitioner watchdog confirmed both nurses had been forbidden from working in the profession and their registrations were suspended by the NSW Nursing and Midwifery Council.

The woman has since been granted bail and will appear in Downing Centre Local Court on March 19.

CCTV footage has been seized from the hospital and other staff have been interviewed by police.

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said the charges were a major development in what has been a very thorough and exhaustive investigation by detectives attached to Strike Force Pearl.

"Strike Force Pearl detectives must be commended for acting swiftly under enormous pressure and public expectation," Commissioner Webb said.

"These charges have been laid following a lot of hard work and legal advice, received yesterday from the Commonwealth DPP.

"Detectives have overcome obstacles and jurisdictional challenges to get where we are today."

It's believed that the jurisdictional challenges had to do with Veifer being based in Israel. 

Investigations are continuing. 

The other male nurse was treated by emergency services on Thursday night, following a "concern for welfare."

Last week, Mr Nadir issued an apology through his lawyer after being stood down, and told reporters the incident was a misunderstanding and a mistake before being admitted to hospital. 

The scandal marks a difficult time for Israeli and Jewish people, with NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb confirming that there have been 14 arrests already under Strike Force Pearl, with 76 charges laid. 

"[This] demonstrates the commitment of strike force detectives investigating these offences," Commissioner Webb said.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that the "antisemitic video [is] driven by hate and it's disgusting.

"The comments are vile, the footage is sickening and it is shameful.

"It is very clear to me that these people have committed what are crimes and they should face the full force of the law."

The issue has caused some broken trust in the public health system, Premier Chris Minns said. 

"We cannot have examples of naked racism from public servants exhibited on social media or anywhere," he said.
