What real-money prediction markets imply about Israel's 27 October 2026 election, the race for Prime Minister and the next government, compared with the TV polls.


The needle is the market's implied chance that Netanyahu is the next Prime Minister (31%); dashed: 7 days ago (29%). Left of the needle, the challengers and their own odds.
Expected seats from each party's Polymarket seat markets, rounded to whole seats. 61 seats make a majority. Grey: seats not covered by any party market. The rounded totals exceeded 120 (each market carries its own overround), so they are scaled to 120.
Yashar is favored to finish first at 59%, and Eizenkot leads the race for Prime Minister at 47% (-6.2 pts this week).
Eizenkot leads. Netanyahu is at 31% (+2 this week). Bennett 15%.

Live odds, volumes and trades from Polymarket's public data, taken once a day at 06:45 Israel time. Each price is the market's implied probability of Yes.
Expected seats = probability-weighted midpoint of each seat range, after removing the market's overround. An open-ended range is given the width of its neighbours. Ranges below the 4-seat threshold count as zero.
Many Israel markets are thin and traded mostly by non-Israelis. Treat odds as one lens alongside polls, not as a forecast. Events tagged to the election but about other topics (for example a ceasefire) are not counted.
