This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed country officially recognizes Israel as a state between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of intentions will not suffice to resolve this market to "Yes." Only a government's formal recognition of the State of Israel will count toward a “Yes” resolution for this market. The primary resolution source for this market will be official government information. However, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Recent developments show limited momentum for new formal recognitions of Israel by the end of 2026. As of early 2026, 169 UN member states recognize Israel, leaving roughly two dozen holdouts, primarily Arab League and Organization of Islamic Cooperation members plus Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela. No additional states have extended recognition since late 2025. Venezuela restored consular ties in August 2026 after a humanitarian response to earthquakes, while Colombia strengthened relations and recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Syria’s new government has pursued security talks, and Saudi normalization remains linked to U.S.-brokered conditions and Palestinian statehood issues. Trader consensus reflects these structural barriers and the absence of imminent diplomatic breakthroughs within the resolution window.
