The contrast with the US president's highly choreographed trip to shake hands and stand in solidarity with key ally Israel could not be starker. On the streets leading to the US embassy in Beirut, which was cordoned off behind rows of razor wire, protesters seethed with anger.
Carrying flags and stones - which were thrown at the embassy - they tried to storm the building but were repulsed by volleys of tear gas and rubber bullets. Shiite militant group Hezbollah had called for a day of "unprecedented outrage" after the hospital bombing.
With his face covered by a Kaffiyeh, a protester said he had come to the protest to support the people of Gaza and make the world understand what was happening there.
" Because of the massacres carried out by the Zionist enemies with the full support of the United States. Demonstrations may escalate due to massacres carried out by Israel, the latest of which is the bombing of children and women in the Maamadani hospital. America's support for Israel is clear after Joe Biden endorsed the Israeli scenario that Hamas was the one that bombed the hospital ," he said.
And it is an almost universal refrain in the Arab and Islamic world. There is disbelief in the Israeli explanations - no one accepts that the massacre at the hospital was anything other than an IDF airstrike.
And the longer the bombing of Gaza continues, the more likely this backlash will escalate into something much worse. In the Jordanian capital of Amman, people turned out in their thousands to support the Palestinian cause and vent their anger at Israel and the US.
The protests in Egypt were just as loud, with people marching calling on the world to open its eyes to what they claim is Israeli terrorism.
