Will Yair Lapid be the next Prime Minister of Israel?

Yair Lapid's 3¢ price reflects extremely low consensus probability, yet the Yes side offers a staggering 4563% implied yield—a massive risk-reward asymmetry suggesting either severe underpricing or near-zero genuine viability. The $428k daily volume against $43.3k open interest indicates reasonable liquidity for a long-tail outcome, though the neutral regime score (0.341) and 32 cliff risk index suggest market uncertainty about how political developments might shift odds before the October 2026 election. With 259 days to resolution and zero 7-day price movement, this appears to be a stable contrarian bet where traders are pricing in either coalition dynamics or polling data heavily favoring other candidates.

Resolution rules

Legislative elections are schedule to be held in Israel on October 27, 2026. This market will resolve to the next individual who is officially appointed and sworn in as Prime Minister of Israel following the 2026 parliamentary election. If an election is called early, this market will immediately resolve to the individual who is officially appointed and sworn in after that election. To count for resolution, the individual must be formally sworn in. Any interim or caretaker Prime Minister will not count toward the resolution of this market. If no such Prime Minister is sworn in by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Government of Israel; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
