It may miss subsequent developments.** ## The question, as the venue words it Will the Knesset approve a new government with both Likud and Yashar before Feb 1, 2027? ## How this market settles If the Knesset approves a new government that includes both Likud and Yashar in a vote of confidence before Feb 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes. The President tasking a candidate with forming a government, any extension of that mandate, a signed coalition agreement, an announced agreement in principle between parties, an announcement or scheduling of a confidence vote, and the continued operation of the outgoing caretaker government do NOT qualify. Neither does the swearing-in of individual ministers before the Knesset has voted. For purposes of this market, only the Knesset's approval, in a vote of confidence, of a new government that includes both Likud and Yashar qualifies. A party is considered to be part of a government if one or more of its representatives hold at least one ministerial or cabinet-level position (including junior ministers or equivalent executive roles, if applicable) in that government. Outside support for a government, including a confidence and supply arrangement, does NOT make a party part of that government. A Knesset vote approving the appointment of additional ministers to an existing or outgoing government does NOT qualify. ## Evidence you can inspect _These labels describe how a claim relates to the question.

No individual review. It rests on 30 claims from 16 publishers; anything not reported in those sources is not represented here. The report recorded 4 resolution risks, listed with this brief. - The term 'Yashar' may refer to a party not yet well-established or whose membership/composition could change, potentially creating disputes about whether the party in government is the same 'Yashar' referenced at market creation. - The definition of 'ministerial or cabinet-level position' and 'junior ministers or equivalent executive roles' may be subject to interpretation under Israeli law, particularly for non-standard executive appointments. - The cutoff timezone (2027-02-01T04:59:00Z) means the deadline is effectively midnight or early morning in Israeli time (UTC+2/+3), which could create edge cases if a vote occurs near the boundary. - It is unclear what happens if Likud or Yashar merges with another party, splits, or changes its name before a potential confidence vote — whether such a transformed entity would still qualify. ## Publication history - Published 7 November 2026; research dated 7 November 2026. ## Since the previous brief This is the first published brief for this event.
