Mr Blinken's first visit since to Israel since Benjamin Netanyahu returned to power this month comes at a time of extreme tension - with deadly attacks carried out by both sides.
Mr Blinken's trip to the region was already planned but coincided with one of the worst periods of violence in years.
Speaking to journalists at the US embassy in Jerusalem, he reiterated the view that a two-state solution remains the only viable path to peace, security and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians. Palestinians in the West Bank are growing increasingly desperate under occupation and militancy is on the rise. The Palestinian leadership in Ramallah is incapable of providing the essentials to its people.
