3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Will Israel launch a major ground offensive in Gaza by December 31? — the market puts it at 14%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Israel sends more than 1,000 ground troops into new areas of Gaza before December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. It resolves to No if this specific threshold is not met by that deadline. Readers often mistake limited border raids or special operations for a major offensive, but these do not count toward the Yes outcome.
  • Israel and Lebanon normalize relations before 2027? — the market puts it at 4%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if both Israel and Lebanon officially announce diplomatic relations by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. It resolves to No if this announcement does not occur within that timeframe. Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of 2027 instead of the specified date in late 2026.
  • Lebanon — the market puts it at 2%, 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.
