A 26-year-old nurse from Sydney, Sarah Abu Lebdeh, has been arrested following a video that allegedly displays her making threats towards Israeli patients. Facing three charges, including threats of violence and harassment, Abu Lebdeh's profession at Bankstown Hospital came to a screeching halt after the disturbing content surfaced. The footage—recorded on a random chat platform—has stirred outrage, including condemnation from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Police have clarified that there is no indication the nurse harmed any patients. Following her arrest, she has been granted bail but is restricted from using social media and leaving Australia, with her court return set for March 19. Another individual, Ahmad Rashad Nadir, connected to the video remains under investigation but has not yet been charged.
