Analysis
The market has rallied 13 cents over 7 days to 56¢, reflecting heightened geopolitical tension expectations, though the 5¢ spread and $1.76k daily volume suggest moderate liquidity for a binary with 14 days to expiry. The extreme implied yields (2002% for Yes, 3518% for No) and 341% realized volatility indicate this is pricing tail-risk geopolitical outcomes rather than baseline expectations, with the neutral regime score suggesting genuine uncertainty rather than directional conviction. With only $16.6k open interest and a cliff risk index of 1, this market is vulnerable to sharp repricing on any credible news regarding Israeli military operations in the final two weeks.
Resolution rules
This market will resolve according to the total number of different sovereign UN member states' soil that Israel initiates a drone, missile, or air strike between April 1, 2026, 12:00 AM ET and April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Strikes on embassies or consulates will count towards the country where the embassy or consulate is located, not towards the country they represent. Strikes within the territory controlled by Israel as of market creation, as well as strikes within the West Bank or the Gaza Strip, will not be counted towards this market's resolution. For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, or missiles (including cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by Israeli military forces that impact another country's ground territory that is officially acknowledged by the Israeli government or a consensus of credible reporting. Missiles or drones that are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not count towards the resolution of this market, regardless of whether they land on another country's territory or cause damage. Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, FPV or ATGM strikes directly, ground incursions, naval shelling, cyberattacks, or other operations conducted by Israeli ground operatives will not qualify. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.
