Polymarket trading volume exceeds $55 million, Eisenkot has a 55% chance of winning

Odaily reports that a Polymarket contract on Israel's prime ministerial election has surpassed $55 million in trading volume, with Gadi Eisenkot at a 55% probability of winning and Benjamin Netanyahu at 29%. Eisenkot, a former Chief of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces and current leader of the Yashar party, is the subject of a contract on who will become prime minister following the parliamentary election on October 27, 2026.

Traditional polling shows Eisenkot's bloc leading Netanyahu's bloc by 6 seats, but no single party currently holds a majority. The Israel Democracy Institute has called on the Central Elections Committee to treat prediction market odds as polling and to restrict the publication of related results before elections.
