Lebanese researcher Nizar Ghanem said in a June 25, 2023 show on Al-Hurra Network (U.S.) that the Arabs are going through a "moral crisis" and that neither the Arab secularists nor the Islamists have a vision of how they would build a modern Arab state.
He said that this was proven by the Arab Spring and the way it came to an end.
The show's host, Egyptian journalist Ibrahim Eissa, said that the Left has allied with the Islamists because they are capable of launching protests against the existing rulers, adding: "The leftist infatuation with Islamist violence is not new."
Nizar agreed and said that the Arabs do not need a coup, but rather a good constitution, saying: "The Left is as dogmatic as the Islamists."
