About the fact that 21 Arab and Muslim nations did indeed condemn Israel.

But it was only reported in Turkish and African outlets at a cursory glance.

21 Arab, Muslim nations condemn Israeli strikes on Iran, urge de-escalation
In joint statement led by Egypt, regional powers call for ceasefire, respect for sovereignty and nuclear disarmament ‘without selectivity’

Signed by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq and others.

I wonder why it wasn't more widely reported?

Here is the statement. I could not find the full statement elsewhere:
