Source

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.

Seat math

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.

Limits

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.
