Blinken was seen in photographs released by the Palestinian Authority.
The top US diplomat met with Abbas in Ramallah as global concern grows over rising violence in the occupied territory in tandem with the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza since October 7.
The war erupted after Hamas militants launched an attack on southern Israel that killed one thousand, four hundred people, mostly civilians, according to Israeli officials.
The trip was not announced in advance for security reasons and came after Blinken visited Jordan and neighboring Israel on Friday.
