After his interview with Piers Morgan two weeks ago went viral with close to 20 million views, Egyptian satirist Bassem Youssef made good on his promise to go face-to-face with the English broadcaster for a second round - this time for a much longer interview.

Filmed in Los Angeles, the two-hour interview saw Youssef gift Morgan with olive oil from the occupied West Bank before initially discussing their first conversation last month - which became Morgan's most-seen show.

Before long, the two dove into the horrors of recent weeks, with Youssef shedding light on the plight and desperation of the Palestinian people and addressing the question of what would happen should Palestinians in Gaza be "relocated" to the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.
