If Saib Erekat dies (he's in the hospital with Coronavirus), is that good for the Middle East?

Saib Erekat is critical condition in an Israeli hospital Hadassah – and in a coma with ventilators and various other equipment. He is general secretary of the PLO and is close to the Palestine Authority leadership, and has been the chief negotiator for talks with Israel for decades.
His (and the Palestinians’) intransigence towards making any deal is well known.
If he doesn’t make it through his COVID hospitalization (and he has a long history of health issues), is that actually good for the Middle East?
Palestinian leadership is aging and hasn’t moved along with the rest of the world.
Although bad for Erekat, would his death be good for the Palestinian cause?
