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.Most UN member states already recognize Israel, with non-recognizers limited primarily to certain Arab League members, other Muslim-majority countries, and a handful of others such as Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela. Recent developments center on restored diplomatic ties in Latin America, where new right-leaning governments in Bolivia, Colombia, and Venezuela have reversed prior severances tied to the Gaza conflict, including Colombia's recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Saudi-Israeli normalization remains stalled but connected to US-brokered regional deals, while Syria's transitional leadership has pursued security talks that could precede broader engagement. Trader consensus reflects limited prospects for additional formal recognitions by year-end absent major diplomatic breakthroughs.
