3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Israel withdraws from Lebanon by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 5%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. For the market to resolve to 'Yes', Israel must announce by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET that its ground forces have withdrawn from all Lebanese territory. The Shebaa Farms area counts as Israeli territory and does not count toward withdrawal. Readers often mistake a planned or future withdrawal for an actual one, which is insufficient.
  • Lebanon — the market puts it at 3%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Israel and Lebanon establish formal diplomatic ties before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake general political dialogue or trade agreements for official normalization of relations.
  • Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 1%, with $7 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Israel and Qatar establish formal diplomatic ties before January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if this normalization does not occur by that date. Readers often mistake the closure of the UK consulate in East Jerusalem for the triggering event, but only Israeli-Qatari relations matter.

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.
