Qassem said Hezbollah supported efforts by Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berri to secure a halt to fighting, which has escalated in recent weeks with Israeli ground incursions and the killing of some of Hezbollah's top leaders, including secretary general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
"In any case, after the issue of a ceasefire takes shape, and once diplomacy can achieve it, all of the other details can be discussed and decisions can be taken," he said.
Hezbollah began launching missiles at Israel a year ago in support of its ally Hamas, which is having a conflict with Israel following the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.
