Moallem didn't say who was responsible for the assassination, but hinted that it was "Israel", saying "one must ask oneself who gained most from it. "Israel" tops the list of those who stood to gain."
Moghnieh was killed in a car bombing in Damascus on February 12.
Hizbullah blamed "Israel" for the killing.
Moallem added that killing continues to be investigated "night and day" by the Syrian authorities.
"Crimes like this one happen in many capitals around the world. I can't call it an infiltration," he said.
Most of the interview centered on the upcoming Arab summit in Damascus scheduled for the end of March.
The official Website for the summit advertises that the summit will begin on March 25 with a meeting of ambassadors which will be followed by a meeting of foreign ministers and later, the heads of Arab states are scheduled to meet.
The summit is expected to conclude on March 30.
