2 prediction markets price this story:
- Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 3%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Benjamin Netanyahu is arrested before January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if he is not arrested by that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about election pressure for the actual event required for resolution.
- Netanyahu bloc — resolved “No” on 30 Oct 2026. The outcome is Yes if Likud, Otzma Yehudit, RZP-Zehut, Amcha Yisrael, United Torah Judaism, and Shas win at least 61 seats in the 2026 Israeli legislative election. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked news headline for the resolution event, but only the official seat count from the 2026 election matters.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
