Prosecutors have dropped a charge against one of the two former nurses who appeared in a video chat with an Israeli content creator that allegedly included threats to Israeli patients.<\/p>\n
Ahmad Rashad Nadir, 27, and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, 26, were charged earlier this year after the video, recorded from cam chat app Chatruletka, was uploaded by Max Veifer.<\/p>\n
The pair, who worked at Bankstown Hospital, allegedly bragged about refusing to treat Israeli patients, killing them and saying they would go to hell during the conversation in February.<\/p>\n
Ms Abu Lebdeh previously faced three Commonwealth offences, however on Tuesday Magistrate Margaret Quinn was told one count of using a carriage service to threaten to kill is being withdrawn.<\/p>\n
She still faces two other charges; threatening violence to a group and using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend.<\/p>\n

Mr Nadir was charged with using a carriage service to menace, harass or offend and possessing a prohibited drug.<\/p>\n
His lawyer, Zemarai Khatiz, today entered a plea of not guilty to the drug charge, which according to court documents relates to the alleged possession of morphine.<\/p>\n
A hearing for that matter was set for late October.<\/p>\n
Neither of the two attended court for the brief mention after being excused if legally represented.<\/p>\n
Their cases concerning the video will return to court in November and the two remain on bail.<\/p>\n
The nurses were stood down following the publication of the video pending an investigation.<\/p>\n
Police have previously said they found no evidence that anyone at the hospital was harmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prosecutors have dropped a charge against one of the two former nurses who appeared in a video chat…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":146444,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[99061,64,63,99060,99064,1108,48,6897,99063,44,2733,99062,1314,670,446],"class_list":["post-146443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-ahmad-rashad-nadir","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bankstown","tag-chatruletka","tag-court","tag-crime","tag-israel","tag-max-veifer","tag-news","tag-nsw","tag-sarah-abu-lebdeh","tag-social-media","tag-sydney","tag-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146443\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
