Legislative elections are scheduled to be held in Israel in 2026. This market will resolve to “Yes” if, following the next election for the Israeli Knesset, a new Knesset election is called prior to any government being formed. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Government formation refers to a political coalition or government being approved by an investiture vote of the Knesset. An election will be considered called if the Knesset is dissolved, or if a new Knesset election is otherwise officially announced by the Israeli government. If a government is formed following the election before a new Knesset election is called, this market will immediately resolve to “No”. The failure of a government formation attempt will not alone qualify if no new Knesset election has been called. If neither occurs by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET this market will resolve to “No”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the government of Israel; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Recent polling for Israel's October 27, 2026, Knesset election shows the right-wing bloc aligned with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu projected at 49-52 seats and the main opposition bloc near 57-66 seats, with Arab parties holding the balance around 10-11. These figures leave both sides short of the 61-seat majority needed for a stable coalition in most surveys, yet traders assign only a 22% chance of a hung parliament. This reflects expectations that post-election negotiations will produce a government, drawing on Israel's history of flexible coalition deals, including potential Arab party support or centrist realignments around parties like Yashar. The Knesset's full-term dissolution in July and ongoing primaries have not yet shifted the overall bloc math decisively.
