The case against two Australian nurses accused of making anti-Semitic comments to an Israeli influencer might collapse if the video footage is struck out of court.

Ahmad Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh are accused of being menacing and offensive when they allegedly said they would refuse to treat Israeli patients and threatened violence towards them.

The pair are due to face trial at the end of August, but the key piece of prosecution evidence might yet be excluded if it is ruled to have been obtained illegally. 

Israeli national Max Ilinsky, popularly known as Max Veifer, recorded video of his conversation with the nurses on the platform ChatRoulette in 2025.
