3 prediction markets price this story:

Will Benjamin Netanyahu be the next Prime Minister of Israel? — the market puts it at 30%, with $274k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 28 Oct 2026. The Yes outcome occurs if Benjamin Netanyahu is formally sworn in as Prime Minister after an election. The No outcome applies if someone else takes that oath or if no new Prime Minister is sworn in by December 31, 2027. Readers often mistake the date of a political tour or appointment for the official swearing-in ceremony.
Benjamin Netanyahu — the market puts it at 1%, closing 27 Oct 2027. The outcome is Yes if Benjamin Netanyahu formally takes office as Minister of Foreign Affairs following the 2026 Israeli legislative election before Oct 27, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the date of the election for the deadline; the actual cutoff is when he assumes the specific role.
Benjamin Netanyahu — the market puts it at 32%, with $59k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 27 Oct 2027. The outcome is Yes if Benjamin Netanyahu becomes Prime Minister of Israel after the 2026 legislative election and meets all constitutional requirements before October 27, 2027. The outcome is No if he does not meet these conditions by that deadline. Readers often mistake the date of his UN General Assembly speech for the resolution deadline.

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.
