Help regarding drywall on basement walls!!!

We live in a split-level house from 1943 where we are currently furnishing the basement. We have chipped out the floor, installed water-based underfloor heating, and cast a new floor. We have now reached the walls. Half of the house is above ground and half is below ground level. We understand that the walls below ground level need to be plastered. However, we are now wondering if we can place drywall directly on the hollow concrete blocks on the walls that are above ground. The walls were previously plastered, but we would like to put drywall on them if possible. //Petra

The horizontal panel cannot be load-bearing in any way. Pry off a few boards and look to see what it's like behind.
