Two days before the upcoming Knesset elections, the international prediction market Polymarket forecasts that former IDF Chief of Staff and Yachad party chairman Gadi Eisenkot is poised to become Israel's next prime minister. Eisenkot leads the prediction with a 52% chance of forming the next government, potentially replacing incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu is currently second on the platform with only a 28% chance.
The Polymarket platform, which facilitates trading on digital currencies based on future events, has seen hundreds of thousands of dollars traded around the question of who will be the next prime minister. However, the platform's data reflects the assessments of traders and investors globally, and should not be considered an official public opinion poll representing Israeli voters.
