The contract for Netanyahu's exit by 30 June 2027 jumped 26 points in a week to 44.5%, after President Isaac Herzog announced that Gadi Eisenkot, a former army chief and Netanyahu's main rival, would receive the first try at forming a government. The market, which has drawn about US$125 million in bets since it opened, shows a range of opinions, with Netanyahu at 18.6% and Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the Yisrael Beytenu party, at 6.6%. Israel's next government will play a crucial role in shaping Washington's talks on Gaza and Iran.",
