An Australian nurse who was filmed in an online video chat saying she would kill Israeli patients has been charged with threatening violence, police said Wednesday.

Detectives charged the 26-year-old woman — named in Australian media as Sarah Abu Lebdeh — with threatening violence to a group; using a carriage service to threaten to kill; and using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend, police said in a statement.

Footage released by Israeli influencer Max Veifer on social media this month showed him in a video chat with a male and a female nurse at a Sydney hospital.

Asked how they would treat Israeli patients in their Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital in southwest Sydney, the female nurse told Veifer: “I won’t treat them, I will kill them.”

Both nurses, who were suspended from work in light of the video, reportedly later expressed regret and that they were not being serious in their remarks, which Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described as “sickening.”

Police had acted “swiftly under enormous pressure and public expectation,” New South Wales police commissioner Karen Webb said.

The woman is scheduled to face court in Sydney on March 19.

Veifer, who regularly posts videos, mostly about the Middle East, on TikTok, has 102,000 followers and his videos have been liked by 4.2 million users. Among his videos are encounters he has with other people over social media.

Jewish organizations and hate researchers have recorded drastic spikes in hate-fueled incidents against Jews in Australia since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel — when some 3,000 terrorists invaded the Jewish state, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages — that triggered the subsequent war in the Gaza Strip.

These have included several arson attacks on synagogues and community centers in Sydney and Melbourne and the repeated spraying of anti-Jewish and anti-Israel graffiti on properties or vehicles in areas with large Jewish populations. Last month also saw a neo-Nazi rally near the Melbourne parliament.
