A nurse who allegedly said that they would not treat Israeli patients now faces multiple federal charges in Australia.
Sarah Abu Lebdeh, 26, was detained on Tuesday after she made comments in the video posted online earlier this month, according to Associate Press.
Abu Lebdeh and another nurse, Ahmed Rashid Nadir, were suspended from the Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital near Sydney on February 12th. Abu Lebdeh said in the video the night before he would not be treated Israeli patients While Nadir suggested that he killed the Israelites, AP reported.
However, the hospital examined the patient records and did not determine the evidence that the nurses had harmed patients.

The video posted online was described as “anti -Semite” by the police forces of the new southern Vels.
They added that “it was recorded at Bankstown Hospital and circled wide on social media.”
Abu Lebdeh is charged with federal misdemeanors of threatening violence to the group, using a threat service to threaten to kill and use the threat, harassment and insult service, police said.
The charges have presented a potential maximum sentence of 22 years in prison.
Abu Lebdeh was released with bail and is expected to appear in court on March 19.

The video includes a man and a woman, who said doctors, talked to another individual through Chatroletka, a website at which foreigners in international level coincide with conversations.
After the Israeli man discovered his nationality, the female worker said, “It is a Palestinian country, not your country that is a piece of S —“, states in the video.
While the Israeli man sought peace, the conversation escalated, and the woman said, “When the time comes, I want you to remember my face, so you can realize that you will die the most interesting death.”
The couple continued to say that he would not treat a man and that he would kill him if he came to their hospital.
