NYC Nurse Fired for Calling Gaza Conflict 'Genocide' During Award Speech

NYU Langone Health dismisses Hesen Jabr after her controversial remarks at an employee recognition event.

Hesen Jabr, a labor and delivery nurse, was terminated after describing Israel's actions in Gaza as 'genocide.'
Jabr made the comments while accepting an award for her work with bereaved mothers.
The hospital had previously warned Jabr against bringing her political views into the workplace.
Jabr claims her firing followed months of conflict with hospital administrators over her social media posts.
The ongoing Gaza conflict has resulted in over 36,000 deaths and widespread displacement.
