"We continue to call for an end to all politically motivated arrests and detentions and emphasize that this won't help Egypt move beyond the crisis. Our position hasn't changed," Harf said.
"It's up to the Egyptian people to decide what their government looks like going forward. We've repeatedly made clear that it's not for us to decide."
Islamist leader Morsi has been in detention since his ouster on July 3. When asked about the decision of Egypt's judiciary to extend Morsi's time in custody by 15 days, Harf did not mention the ousted leader by name.
"There needs to be an inclusive, democratic process going forward," Harf said, noting the need for Egyptian leaders to respect people's right to assemble peacefully.
"We don't take sides. We're not going to decide what the future of Egypt's government looks like," she added.
