PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Alex Wubbels ? This screengrab from video provided by Salt Lake City police  shows  University Hospital in Salt Lake City nurse Alex Wubbels  being handcuffed by police officers. (Photo: Salt Lake City Police)
 The Utah hospital  dragged into the national spotlight after a Salt Lake City detective arrested a nurse for doing her job has apologized to the nurse and banned police officers from conversing with nurses in  the hospital .
Gordon Crabtree  CEO of University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City  said hospital security should have intervened when  burn unit nurse Alex Wubbels  was arrested for refusing to allow a detective to take blood from an comatose patient.
"To our nurses and staff â this will not happen again " Crabtree said at a news conference Monday. " âNurse Wubbels  was placed in an unfair and unwarranted position (and)  her  actions were nothing less than exemplary.â
Crabtree said  the hospital  has changed  its  policies and now requires police officers to speak only to senior nurse supervisors. No contacts can be made in patient areas.
The incident took place July 26  but went viral last week after lawyers for  Wubbels  obtained and released the body camera video. The video shows Detective Jeff Payne asking  then insisting  that he be allowed to draw blood from a patient  whose vehicle had been hit by another vehicle.
The video shows  Wubbels  calmly denying Payne's request  saying hospital policy required a judge's order or the patient's consent unless the patient was under arrest. Payne walks toward  Wubbels  saying  "We're done here. We're done. "
 Wubbels  has expressed disappointment that hospital security officers on the scene did nothing to halt her arrest.
University of Utah Police Chief Dale Brophy said his officers wrongly believed Payne had implied consent when they allowed  Wubbels  to be arrested. He described Wubbles as a "rock star."

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Benjamin Netanyahu ? TEL AVIV â Wielding a fragment of an Iranian drone downed in Israel last week  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday warned Tehran not to âtest Israelâs resolve.â
âThrough its proxies â Shiite militias in Iraq  the Houthis in Yemen  Hezbollah in Lebanon  Hamas in Gaza â Iran is devouring huge swaths of the Middle East â  Netanyahu  said at the conference.
âIsrael will not allow Iranâs regime to put a noose of terror around our neck â  he  added. âWe will act without hesitation to defend ourselves. And we will act if necessary not just against Iranâs proxies that are attacking us  but against Iran itself.â
 The prime minister  used the opportunity to express  his  dismay at the nuclear deal between Iran and world powers  saying the deal should be scrapped altogether.
âLetâs not repeat the mistakes of the past. Appeasement never works â  he  said.
âConcessions to Hitler only emboldened the Nazis. Well-intentioned leaders only made war more difficult and costly â  he  said.
âIran is not Nazi Germany. One championed a master race  the other champions a master faith â said  Netanyahu . âIran looks to destroy Israel and is developing ballistic missiles that can also reach Europe and the US. Once nuclear-armed  Iran will be unchecked.â
The Iran deal has ânot made them more moderate internally  it has not made them more moderate externally. It released an Iranian tiger in our region. We must speak clearly; we must act boldly. We can stop this dangerous regime â said  Netanyahu .
âI donât care about the agreement  fixing it or nixing it. I care about preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon â  Netanyahu  said  calling for âthe toughest  crippling sanctionsâ against Iranâs production of ballistic missiles.
 He  called Zarif the âsmooth-talking mouthpiece of Iran.â
âIâll say this   he  lies eloquently â  Netanyahu  said. âZarif said it was wrong to say Iran is radical. If thatâs true  why do they hang gays from cranes in city squares?â
He branded  Netanyahu  âobsessiveâ with  his  belief that Iran was a threat to Israel. Iran has repeatedly threatened Israel and aids anti-Israel terrorist groups  including Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad. Zarif also warned against heeding  Netanyahu âs prediction that Tehran would âdo nothingâ if the U.S. were to pull out the nuclear deal.
