Not quite. Till the very end he still smuggled weapons through neighboring countries with money he got to feed and house his people. The only difference is that now his wife and henchmen run the show.
If you ask me, Arafat got his last chance to make peace at the 2000 Camp David Summit, but typically turned down all the options that were offered to him by Clinton and Barak.
