We are prepared and ready, fully ready," Qassem said.
"The question being asked, which everyone is waiting for, is: what Hezbollah will do and what will its contribution be?"
Qassem spoke at a rally where hundreds of people had gathered in solidarity with Palestinians, waving the flags of Palestine and of Hezbollah.
Other rallies were organized in Palestinian camps as well as cities across southern and eastern Lebanon where Hezbollah has a strong presence.
He met on Friday morning with Iranian foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian to discuss the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
