BREAKING NEWS Huge setback for Bankstown Hospital nurses who allegedly declared to 'kill Israelis' in viral video
The two nurses at the centre of a viral video where they allegedly made violent threats against Israelis have copped further sanctions.
Ahmad Rashad Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh have both received a two-year ban from the National Disability Insurance Scheme, four months after they were stood down from their jobs at Bankstown Hospital.
The pair were among 133 individuals and businesses banned from working with NDIS participants in the first five months of 2025 for various reasons, the Daily Telegraph reported.
They were previously banned from working as nurses nationwide, and the NSW Nursing and Midwifery Council has suspended their registrations.
The pair were working at southwest Sydney 's Bankstown Hospital in February when they made the alleged threats in a conversation via online platform Chatruletka.
Nadir, 27, is charged with using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend, and possessing a prohibited drug.
Lebdeh, 26, is charged with three Commonwealth offences — threatening violence to a group, using a carriage service to threaten to kill, and using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend.
The pair are currently before the courts.
