It appears though to me that Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia will be filling in Arafat's shoes, as he is already receiving greater authority to deal with the urgent financial matters pressing in on the PA government.
Although Israel has refused him burial within Jerusalem (citing Jerusalem is for burial of kings not terrorists) they are allowing him to be buried in Gaza. Israel is preparing for possible riots in the PA territories as a result of the power vacuum created by Arafat's death. Selah.
