The TikTok influencer who posted a viral video of two Sydney nurses threatening Israeli patients could hold the “critical” piece of evidence police are seeking.

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said Max Veifer had agreed to supply an unedited version of the video and a statement.

“We need this to be watertight and critical to that is the evidence from the influencer,” Webb said on Thursday.

“So we’re looking to getting that and then be able to fully investigate the whole content and that will dictate the terms of the investigation.”

No charges have been laid against the Bankstown Hospital nurses amid widespread outcry over the antisemitic statements in the video.

A relative of the female nurse claimed on Wednesday that the video had been edited, which distorted the fact she had been “baited”.

The pair face possible criminal and health prosecutions after the viral footage of them boasting of not treating Israelis spread on Wednesday.

Health Minister Ryan Park and Jewish leaders visited the hospital in Sydney’s southwest on Thursday morning as leaders try to reassure the community the hospital remains safe for all.

Devastated health workers have been abused amid the fallout from two nurses’ video threats towards Israeli patients.

Jewish people expressed fears about not receiving equitable treatment in hospital.

Some were transferring elective surgeries to hospitals they think “might be safer”, said Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Alex Ryvchin.

“These (two) people aren’t the only ones that harbour this ideology, that are consumed by this sort of hatred,” Ryvchin told ABC TV.

“I’ve had many messages from members of the Jewish community asking things like, ‘should I have my Star of David removed, lest I be in the hands of a paramedic or nurse or orderly that holds these sort of views?'”

The Australian Jewish Association accused the nurses union — the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation — of being “complicit” in the harassment of Jewish patients.

“Since 7 October 2023 we have seen leftist nursing organisations do NOTHING about the anti-Israel activism and antisemitism in their midst,” said association posted to X.

“Jewish hospital staff and patients have been harassed as a result of your complicity.”

Nurses were to picket parliament on Thursday for higher wages but ditched plans after the video emerged.

They instead gathered to rally against hate speech and discuss their horror that two of their number could be fuelled by such hate.

The pair’s colleagues at Bankstown hospital were not only devastated by the comments but had also faced abuse from patients since the video emerged, NSW nurses and midwives union president O’Bray Smith said.

“This is not us. This is not how we are as a profession,” she told the rally.

“We believe there is no hate in healthcare.”

The two nurses have been stood down pending their potential sacking, revocation of their registration and criminal charges.

Premier Chris Minns said he strongly believed the video and the views expressed in it by the two nurses were an “aberration”.

“I can’t promise that every single health care worker doesn’t harbour the same hate or the same views, but what I can say is that the evidence is that it’s a small, small fraction,” he said.

A comprehensive review into the incident is taking place, while police investigations continue.

The comments have been condemned by political, medical and community leaders and sparked urgent audits of patient care at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital.

NSW Police have seized CCTV footage from the hospital and are expected to provide an update on their investigation later in the day.

Earlier, Health Minister Ryan Park said a “conversation” would happen on Thursday with hospital staff to make clear such comments were unacceptable and to ensure people feel confident to seek care if they were sick or injured.

“If we have a cultural issue or challenge in certain hospitals, then we’re going to get to the bottom of it,” he told Nine’s Today show.

An initial examination by NSW Health found no evidence the care of any Israeli patients had been affected, but a more thorough investigation will follow.

The male nurse appearing in the video posted online by Israeli influencer Max Veifer is trying to “make amends for what has happened”, his solicitor Mohamad Sakr told reporters.

“My client sends a very sincere apology to not only that individual but to the Jewish community as a whole,” Mr Sakr added.

The nurse separately told reporters the incident was a misunderstanding and a mistake.

NSW Opposition Leader Mark Speakman, a former state attorney-general, said he believed the nurses could be prosecuted for publicly threatening violence on religious grounds under existing incitement laws.

The nurses have been stood down over the comments, made while using a website for random video chats.

While an investigation was still underway, Park said he wanted to ensure neither could work in a public hospital ever again.

Veifer posted the video, containing visible edits, to social media early on Wednesday morning.

He has since been contacted by NSW Police as part of their investigation.

The male nurse, identified as an Australian citizen and former Afghan refugee with six years of nursing experience, falsely claimed in the video chat with Mr Veifer that he was a doctor before telling him he was “going to go to” hell.

The female nurse said, according to the video, she would refuse treatment or kill Israeli patients who attended the hospital.
