Countries whose leaders have posted condolences to France on the tragic events.

Two Muslim countries and only one anywhere near the middle east...sad.

This is a result of your personal search engine bubble and western media bias in general. It's really sad that this is how the world is today. Unless you regurarly follow news from outside your comfort zone, they will eventually be so well hidden from you that it's very natural to think that they don't even exist.

As far as I've seen, pretty much everyone in the Middle-East has condemned these attacks.

Iran was actually about the first country anywhere to react (which is unusual as they are usually slow to react to anything).

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt have all condemned them.

Couldn't find a quote from Hezbollah as they have closed their official English website, but they condemded the Charlie Hebdo attacks so you can tell where they stand. (If you knew their politics this would be clear anyway, but I'm not going to rail on people for believing that Hezbollah is a bunch of terrorists too. Middle-East is complicated.) In any case I'm certain there's a statement out there already and I just can't find it because it's in Arabic.

Kurdistan Regional Government unsurprisingly has expressed their solidary and promised to keep fighting a common enemy.

Syria's Assad has pretty clearly also condemned the attacks, but some of his comments might not be very popular in the West.

Wrong [policies] adopted by Western states, particularly France, toward events in the region, and its ignorance of the support of a number of its allies to terrorists are reasons behind the expansion of terrorism

Reading between the lines, he's pretty much saying that "you used to fund these guys that have attacked you, so they could attack me". Which is a defendable position, although as far as I know it's not exactly true.

(Personally I do agree though that the West has truly and completely effed up in the Middle-East (yet again), and ended up fueling ISIS as a result. Then again if the Russians would not have backed Assad in the early stages of the presidency, it's perfectly possible that Syria would now be relatively calm and not a breeding ground for terrorism.)
