The two nurses in the middle of an anti -Semitic Firestorm have been rejected from practicing everywhere in Australia.
Rashad Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh went into hiding while the police are waiting to grill them about a video in which they claimed to have killed Israeli patients in the Bankstown Hospital in southwest Sydney.
A day after the images were shocked in Australia, the couple of Nursing and Midwiferey Council of NSW was destroyed on Thursday.
“As a result, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency has automatically updated their file in the public register of practitioners,” said the Federal Minister of Health Mark Butler.
'As a result, this means that the two nurses are unable to practice everywhere in Australia, in every context.
'Australians have the right to feel safe wherever they go and nowhere should be safer than a hospital.
“Their pathogenic comments – and the hatred that supports them – have no place in our health system and nowhere in Australia.”
The couple was filmed on Tuesday with NSW health uniforms while they threatened Jewish patients in an anti-Semitic tirade during a video call with Israeli influencer Max Veifer.

“It is the land of Palestine, not your country that your piece of s ***,” said Abu Lebdeh.
“One day your time will come and you will die the most terrible death.”
Veifer wondered if the couple would treat an Israeli patient who was looking for care, but the woman cut him off and said, “I will not treat them, I will kill them … not God forbid, I hope for God.”
“You have no idea how many (Israelis) came to this hospital and I sent them to Jehannam (hell),” Nadir said, made a throat -distributed gesture.
Veifer said he was 'shocked' that 'the hatred went so far' and said he 'had to uncover'.
“Seeing doctors, seeing nurses, seeing medical staff who are supposed to treat people, everyone who is supposed to take care of people, and saw that these things just made me, yes, made me sad,” Veifer said On Sky News.
The police have since entered the Bankstown Hospital and seized CCTV as part of the investigation because they assess which charges, if present, can be laid.
NSW police commissioner Karen Webb burned the comments in the video related to a hate crime and founded Strike Force Pearl to investigate.

“This is a sad day for our country, it is unthinkable that we are confronted with and forced to investigate such a terrible incident,” she said on Wednesday.
“Detectives have succeeded in interviewing staff and setting up areas in the Bankstown Hospital where detectives believe that the video is said to have been filmed.”
Bankstown Hospital has a pole away from June 2024 from a person who was wearing a shirt that Palestine is free to be free.
The post thanked the multicultural health team of the local health district and the Lebanese Muslim Association for inviting the hospital for a local exhibition.
“Online content related to Bankstown-membercombe Hospital was removed today when it was learned that a shown community member was wearing clothing with political messages,” spokesperson for the southwestern Sydney Local Health District told Sky News.
Abu Lebdeh and Nadir have both apologized for the comments.
Nadir, 27, sheed his face in shame when the media confronted him in his house in West Sydney on Wednesday and it said that his comments were 'a joke and a misunderstanding'.
“I will use social media to apologize, but I first have to see the detectives,” he said.
Lawyer Mohamad Sakr said that his client tried to “make up for what happened.”
“My client sends a very genuine apology to not only that individual, but also to the Jewish community as a whole,” he added.
The uncle of Abu Lebdeh insisted that his niece was 'sorry' for her anti -Semitic anger and was so worked out 'that we might call an ambulance for her'.
“I try to calm her down to see what the F *** has happened,” he told the Australian from outside the young woman's house on Wednesday.
“She has been a nurse because God knows how long. She has never done anything to hurt someone. '
