Traders on Polymarket are increasingly pricing in a major political shift in Israel ahead of the October 27 election.
Gadi Eisenkot has surged to roughly 58% in the market to become Israel’s next prime minister, compared with 28% for Benjamin Netanyahu. Naftali Bennett is at 7% and Avigdor Lieberman at about 4%. The market has traded more than $36 million in volume.
The move comes as Eisenkot’s Yashar party has gained ground in recent polling, while Netanyahu faces growing problems consolidating Israel’s right wing ahead of the election. Reuters reports that Netanyahu is working urgently to prevent competing right wing parties from splitting his coalition’s vote.
For Netanyahu, the numbers represent a striking change from the political landscape he has dominated for much of the past two decades.
