The international betting platform Polymarket shows a shift in trend: the momentum of Yashar! chairman Gadi Eisenkot is weakening, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is strengthening. According to the data, Eisenkot has about a 50% chance of serving as the next prime minister, compared with about 30% for Netanyahu. In the past Eisenkot led by a considerable margin of 60%-70%. Total trading volume in the market stands at about $57 million. The platform explains that Eisenkot's advantage stemmed from his party's lead in the polls and from his status as a former chief of staff, while Likud lagged against the background of coalition friction. However, the platform noted that no bloc is expected to reach 61 seats, and that coalition negotiations will be the deciding factor. Netanyahu's personal betting market drew the most interest, with a trading volume of about $13.8 million.
