Essam Al-Ghalib was suspended with pay after pro-Israel organisations called for him to be stood down following a series of tweets from 2014-15.
SBS World News reporter Essam Al-Ghalib returned to work this week after being suspended with pay following calls from pro-Israel organisations to have him stood down for anti-Israel tweets posted nearly a decade ago.
