Probably not.  Arafat, through his political blunders, was Israel's best excuse
not to deal with the Palestinians (specifically the PLO).

My opinion:
If Arafat is really dead, I can see this going any number of ways...some not 
very good for Israel, some very good for Israel (IMHO) but not very good for
Likud.  For the Palestinians, I'm guessing that it could go either way, either
they get better, effective leadership or Hamas grows in influence to fill
the void.

Opinions?
