State Department comment comes amid remarks by leaders of Egyptian Islamist party, according to which the 1979 treaty does not bind Egypt's new regime.
Earlier this week, the Muslim Brotherhood, the overwhelming victor in the first round of elections for the Egyptian Parliament, announced that would not recognize Israel and intends to bring the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty to a referendum.
"We will not recognize Israel under any circumstances; we are talking about an occupation entity and a criminal enemy," said Dr. Rashad Bayoumi, the deputy head of the Brotherhood.
However, speaking to the press on Thursday, U.S. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland indicated that the Egyptian Islamist party provided assurances regarding the country's peace treaty with Israel.

They are not going to drop the treaty. They do have to put on a show for the public that they kept it because they wanted to and not because they have a deal with the US.
An advance copy of the report entitled "A View to Extremist Currents In Libya" and obtained by Fox News, states that extremist views are gaining ground in the north African country and suggests a key figure emerging in Libya formerly tied to al Qaeda has not changed his stripes.
