For now, we leave matters in the state's hands. Our stance will be declared by the Secretary-General during the funeral on the 23rd of February.

What's happening in Lebanon is not going to help ceasefire efforts in Gaza. Hamas is looking at what's happening in Lebanon and it looks a economic/military siege is forming around/against Hezbollah and their base.
Hamas is also not going to forget how regional/world powers tried funneling Fatah gunmen into Gaza under guise of aid trucks in the middle of the genocide and had hired them to attack aid trucks on their way to northern Gaza. The reason this didn't develop into something larger was because Netanyahu/Israel don't want the PA to rule Gaza either. They want to expel the population.
If Hamas backs out of Gaza right now, with knowledge that Israel won't allow PA rule, it will mean PA elements and regional elements along with Israel with facilitate the 'migration' of all people out of Gaza. So Hamas has no choice but to remain in power in Gaza because the alternative is either forced expulsion/ 'voluntary migration', with the knowledge that Israel won't allow any Palestinian self governance, intentionally, to help achieve means of ethnic cleansing.

Netanyahu turned to Lebanon to provide a distraction after Trump tweet giving him the freedom to decide how he wants to procede with Gaza. His extremist base were calling for immediate resumption of attacks on Gaza today. Despite Hamas making another concession and releasing more prisoners despite Phase 2 not going into effect.
In order to please his base, he ordered a targeted strike on Lebanon despite there being a ceasefire.

Hezbollah's priority is no longer helping Gaza but surviving. Hezbollah still has MPs and political influence (but no longer in the ruling party) but militarily it is under immense pressure, while Hamas has agreed to give up political power but will seemingly retain its military power.

It's irrelevant to Gaza. I'm talking about the local/regional/international effort to choke the Hezbollah base/movement as a whole, until it collapses, which appears to follow a organized pattern and effort lately.
That policy could be copy pasted to Gaza, complicating post-war negotiations and ceasefire efforts. So what's happening in Lebanon will have a indirect impact on ceasefire negotiations in Gaza.

Hezbollah was always one small part of Lebanon (a sovereign state with a democratic government), not a good comparison to Hamas' rule in Gaza.

Hamas Politburo Osama Hamdan: "I want to tell you, we didn't ask them [Hezbollah] to intervene militarily on our behalf. We met with Sayyed Hassan on the evening of October 8. He started firing at "israel" at dawn on October 8—less than 24 hours. "
"Iran isn't sitting in an operations room issuing coded or uncoded orders to Hamas, Ansar Allah, Hezbollah, or others. We agree that our enemy is "israel," and we cooperate on that, supporting each other in this regard."
