A nurse who allegedly said she wouldn’t treat Israeli patients is now facing multiple federal charges in Australia.
Sarah Abu Lebdeh, 26, was detained Tuesday after she made the comments in a video posted online earlier this month, according to the Associated Press.
Abu Lebdeh and another nurse, Ahmed Rashid Nadir, were suspended from Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital near Sydney on Feb. 12. Abu Lebdeh said in a video the night before that she wouldn’t treat Israeli patients while Nadir suggested he had killed Israelis, the AP reported.
However, the hospital examined patient records and found no evidence that the nurses had harmed patients.
The man in scrubs said “you have no idea how many Israelis came to this hospital and…,” while sliding his arm across his neck in a throat-slashing motion.
