Read the full assessment

The market defines government formation clearly through a formal vote of confidence by the 26th Knesset and specifies that coalition membership requires holding a ministerial post. However, the question asks specifically whether no government will be formed, while the rules are written for a broader multi-option market with specific outcome options like Other or exact party combinations. Resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting, with official Knesset records acting as a fallback in case of ambiguity. There is a long resolution window extending to December 31, 2027, which means the market could remain open for over a year after the scheduled October 2026 election if coalition negotiations stall or lead to dissolution.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve to the first ruling coalition of parties that forms after the 2026 Knesset election. The government is considered formed at the moment the newly elected Knesset approves the government in a vote of confidence. A party will only be considered part of the ruling coalition if it provides at least one Minister, including the Prime Minister. Parties that merely support the government (e.g., through confidence-and-supply arrangements, parliamentary support agreements, abstentions, or similar) without holding a Minister post will not qualify. A coalition does not need to hold a majority of seats in the Knesset; a government approved in a vote of confidence will qualify regardless of the number of seats held by its parties. Parties will be identified by the electoral lists on which they contested the 2026 Knesset election; any subsequent split, merger, or renaming of a list will be disregarded. In the listed options, “L” refers to Likud, “Y” to Yashar, “T” to Together, “S” to Shas, “U” to United Torah Judaism (UTJ), “O” to Otzma Yehudit (Otzma), “Z” to RZP-Zehut (RZP), “B” to Yisrael Beiteinu (YB), “D” to The Democrats (Democrats), “R” to Ra'am, and “J” to Joint List. This market will resolve to the listed option whose parties exactly match the parties included in the coalition. If the coalition includes any party not listed in an option, or does not include every party listed in an option, that option will resolve to “No”. If no listed option exactly matches the parties included in the coalition, this market will resolve to “Other”. Only a government formed by the 26th Knesset, elected on October 27, 2026, will be considered. If the 26th Knesset does not approve a government in a vote of confidence, including if it is dissolved and a new election is called before a government is formed, or if no such government is formed by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No government formed”. Governments formed after any subsequent Knesset election will not be considered. This market may resolve once the 26th Knesset has approved the government in a vote of confidence and the composition of that government has been officially confirmed. This market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting. In case of ambiguity, this market will resolve based on official information from the Government of Israel and the Knesset.

Market explained

This market measures whether no Israeli government is formed by the 26th Knesset following the October 27, 2026 election, within the specified timeframe.

How it resolves

The market resolves to Yes ("No government formed") if the 26th Knesset does not approve a government in a vote of confidence, if the Knesset is dissolved and a new election is called before a government is formed, or if no government is formed by December 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. The market resolves to No if a ruling coalition is approved in a vote of confidence by the 26th Knesset. A party counts toward the coalition only if it holds at least one Minister post (including Prime Minister); outside support or confidence-and-supply without a Minister does not qualify. Resolution will be determined by a consensus of credible reporting, with official information from the Government of Israel and the Knesset used in cases of ambiguity.
