More than 30 people killed in the Israeli bombing of the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.
US Secretary of State Blinken expected to meet Palestinian President Abbas in the occupied West Bank on Sunday.
He is then expected to go to Turkey where protesters have rallied outside a US base.
Protests held around the world in support of Palestine on Saturday and Sunday.
A protest in Tel Aviv on Saturday night called for the government to make more efforts for the release of captives held by Hamas.
During their meeting, Blinken reiterated "the United States’ unequivocal condemnation of the abhorrent terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel" and "detailed U.S. efforts to coordinate with partners to prevent the conflict from widening," State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a readout.
"The Secretary extended his condolences to the families of Palestinian civilian victims of this conflict, and reiterated that Hamas does not stand for the Palestinian people’s legitimate right to dignity, freedom, justice, and self-determination," Miller said.
Blinken also thanked Abbas for his efforts to "further calm" the region and he "reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to cooperation with the Palestinian leadership and people on efforts to ensure security for all," Miller added.
The secretary's trip to Jordan, along much of Israel’s eastern border, comes after he met with officials in Israel, as well as people directly affected by the attack and war, which has killed more than 1,300 in Israel, including at least 27 Americans. In Gaza, more than 1,500 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, with fears of a humanitarian crisis mounting.
Blinken also met in Jordan with King Abdullah II, who has been in touch with President Joe Biden since the crisis in Gaza erupted. The Jordanian leader has served as a key mediator in Middle East-related negotiations for decades.
Blinken and Abdullah discussed "the horrific Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel," Miller said in a separate statement. They also talked about “efforts to secure the release of all hostages and prevent the conflict from widening."
Blinken “underscored that Hamas does not stand for the Palestinian people’s right to dignity and self-determination and discussed ways to address the humanitarian needs of civilians in Gaza while Israel conducts legitimate security operations to defend itself from terrorists,” Miller added.
Abbas heads the Palestinian Authority, which partially administers the West Bank. His Fatah movement is a rival of Hamas, which controls Gaza.
