Pronóstico: Who will be the next Prime Minister of Israel after the next election?

Platform comparison

Market context

Legislative elections in Israel are scheduled for 27 October 2026, with the next Prime Minister to be officially appointed and sworn in following that vote. On Polymarket, this contract currently trades at 36% YES, implying the crowd believes the incumbent or a leading contender will likely secure the role, though the probability remains far from certain. The market resolves only when an individual is formally sworn in; interim or caretaker leaders do not count, and if an election is called early, the resolution shifts immediately to the appointee after that election.

Historically, Israel’s fragmented parliament has produced frequent coalition shifts, with no single party consistently dominating since the 1990s. Benjamin Netanyahu, leading Likud, remains the top contender as his party is projected to win the most votes, yet his coalition has lost support in recent polls[7]. Comparable cases include the 2021 election, where Netanyahu’s coalition narrowly retained power despite opposition gains, and the 2022 election, which saw a right-wing resurgence. These precedents suggest that while Likud’s lead is significant, the 36% probability reflects genuine uncertainty about whether a viable coalition can be formed.

Traders should monitor the Knesset’s progress on the bill to dissolve parliament, which passed its first reading on 1 June and could trigger early elections in August if it advances[2]. Key catalysts include campaign announcements from Naftali Bennett, Gadi Eisenkot, and the Arab bloc, as well as shifts in coalition negotiations ahead of the vote[1]. The opposition’s focus on rejecting Netanyahu rather than the peace process may also influence voter turnout and coalition viability[9]. Any early election announcement would immediately alter the market’s resolution timeline and likely shift pricing.
