The online trading platform Polymarket is predicting a significant lead for Eizenkot over Benjamin Netanyahu in the race for Prime Minister and a victory in the upcoming elections. While Eizenkot's "Yashar! Im Eizenkot" party is projected to win with a 69% chance, the Likud party, led by Netanyahu, lags behind with only a 32% chance. Despite the Likud having the highest trading volume in this category, its chances have seen a sharp 43% decline.
In the broader Knesset election market, where approximately $930,000 has been traded, Eizenkot's party holds a substantial lead with a 69% probability of victory, marking a 36% increase in its trading value. The Likud, conversely, is in second place with a 32% chance, experiencing a 43% drop in its projected success. Other parties are performing poorly, with Naftali Bennett's "Yachad" party collapsing to a 1% chance and both the Shas and "HaDemocratim" parties receiving less than 1%.
However, the scenario changes when considering government formation. A new trading arena on Polymarket, which extends to February 2027, examines the possibility of the Likud or Eizenkot's "Yashar" party forming a government, potentially together. In this complex scenario, the Likud is given a 48% chance of forming the government, a slight 3% decrease. The trading prices for government formation are very close, with the Likud at 75 cents and Eizenkot's party at 79 cents.
