Police still seeking unedited video of nurses making anti-Israeli threats

Police say they are yet to receive the unedited version of the video in which two NSW Health nurses appear to brag about killing Israeli patients.

Earlier today, Israeli influencer Max Veifer published what he says is the full footage, but NSW Police said this afternoon nothing had been directly provided to them.

Some media reported today that Veifer had been unable to send police the footage because the influencer had not been given the correct email details.

Two NSW Health workers have been stood down from Bankstown Hospital and police are investigating after footage emerged of the pair allegedly making antisemitic remarks online.

"NSW Police provided the correct contact details to the influencer at the centre of this inquiry," police said in a statement.

"Investigators have requested a full and unedited version of the video as part of this investigation.

"Police are aware an extended version has been posted online, however nothing has been directly provided to NSW Police.

"Discussions between NSW Police and the influencer remain open and ongoing."

Police have been seeking the unedited footage as they investigated Ahmad Rashad Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, the two nurses at Bankstown Hospital who have been stood down over the incident.

"The police are asking me for the unedited version," Veifer wrote on Instagram.

"I have nothing to hide," he said.

"Here it is and if they tell me where to send it I will send it to them."

The version posted by Veifer today began the same as previous versions of the footage but included previously unheard discussions about Veifer's service in the Israeli Defence Forces.

The nurses and Veifer have a heated exchange about the conflict in Gaza.

The rest of the footage had previously been seen.

The footage ends when the nurses appeared to hang up the call.

9News understands emergency services visited Nadir's home last night and took him to hospital for assessment.

Yesterday the NSW Nursing and Midwifery Board today suspended the nurses' registrations, triggering a chain reaction that saw the national nursing body Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) do the same thing.

It means the pair will not be allowed to work in any hospital in Australia effective immediately, regardless of whether the hospital is public or private.

Nadir and Lebdeh were immediately stood down when their comments came to light on Wednesday.

Police swiftly interviewed other staff on shift at the time the video was recorded and seized CCTV from the hospital.

Initial Inquiries have shown that there is no indication of Jewish patients being mistreated at the hospital. 

Speaking on 2GB yesterday morning, Police Commissioner Karen Webb said the investigation would hinge on the full unedited video to be provided by Veifer.

"We need this to be watertight and critical to that is the evidence from the influencer," she said.

She said police had not spoken to either of the nurses seen in the video, but had been in contact with their lawyers.

Neither Nadir nor Lebdeh have been charged with any criminal offences, and Webb said the decision on whether to do so would depend on the evidence gathered.

Nurse offers apology via lawyer

Nadir's lawyer, Mohamad Sakr, issued a public apology on Wednesday and said his client was "very emotional".

"My client sends a very sincere apology to not only that individual but to the Jewish community as a whole," Sakr said.

"He understands what has happened, he's trying to make amends for what has happened.

"He has never appeared before the courts in relation to any criminal matters, he is a person of prior good character it is unfortunate to find himself in a situation like this.

"He is very emotional, I've suggested he seek some treatment.

"He has apologised for the action, for his words."

How did the video appear?

The original video that sparked the investigation was posted by Veifer on TikTok about 3am AEDT on Wednesday.

Veifer has more than 100,000 followers on the platform and often posts videos where he speaks to strangers through the online video chat program Chatruletka.

"The platform pairs people randomly for a video chat, with only a country and gender specified by the user," the eSafety website says. 

"No names, friend lists or conversation histories are stored, so finding people again is purely left to chance."

Their conversation is believed to have been filmed on Tuesday night while the nurses were working at Bankstown Hospital in Sydney's south-west.
