Yitzhak Rabin doesn't get assasinated in '95 - long term effects

Let's say that Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, the one who signed the Oslo agreement, wears a bullet-proof vest as his security personnal urged him to(he didn't believe any of his own people would ever hurt him), thus Yigal Amir fails to kill him.
What are the long term effects on Israel, and, indeed, the Middle East?

Well, the peace process would not have completely collapsed at THAT point. And Rabin valued the process very much. However I think it would have fallen apart at some point.

I'd think the extremist right wing would then take a political hit, as a failed assassination of the PM is not likely to go over well with the public at large, especially if Rabin was then able to go on a campaign against them. The question is what the so-called 'god-fearing' groups would think about Rabin's survival; is he now protected by god thanks to the failure of the attempt?
