The market has been steady, currently at 1.3%. Its range over the period has been 1.3% to 7.2%. Trading volume is $190.6K. This market resolves to “Yes” if Benjamin Netanyahu makes a definitive announcement that he will not run for reelection to the Knesset in the 2026 election, provided the announcement comes by July 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Suggestions or non‑definitive statements do not count. The primary resolution source is official information from Netanyahu, but a consensus of credible reporting may also be used if needed. The formal triggers are the resolution deadline of July 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, and the scheduled election date of October 27, 2026. Any definitive withdrawal statement from Netanyahu before the deadline would directly move the market, as would credible reporting meeting the resolution criteria. The market strictly hinges on the presence or absence of such an announcement by the cutoff.
