One prediction market prices this story:

  • Will Israel annex West Bank territory before 2027? — the market puts it at 5%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the Israeli government officially declares sovereignty over West Bank territory by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. It resolves to No if no such official act occurs within that timeframe. Readers often mistake informal settler control or administrative changes for annexation, but only a formal legal declaration counts.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
