Nurses Accused of Antisemitic Threats Challenge Video Evidence in Court

Sarah Abu Lebdeh and Ahmad Rashad Nadir, barred from practicing as nurses, appeared in court as one plans to contest the admissibility of a video central to the case.

• Sarah Abu Lebdeh and Ahmad Rashad Nadir are charged with making antisemitic threats against Israeli patients in a viral video recorded in February 2025.
• The video, shared by Israeli social media personality Max Veifer, allegedly shows the pair discussing refusing care and making violent threats toward Israeli patients.
• Both nurses have been barred from practicing nationwide, with their registrations suspended by the NSW Nursing and Midwifery Council.
• Ahmad Rashad Nadir plans to plead not guilty, with his lawyer arguing the video was recorded without consent and should be excluded as evidence.
• The court cases have been adjourned until May, with neither nurse addressing the magistrate during their initial appearance.
