This market resolves YES if Benjamin Netanyahu is no longer the Prime Minister of Israel before a permanent ceasefire agreement is reached between Israel and Hamas. It resolves NO if a permanent ceasefire agreement is reached while Netanyahu is still prime minister.
A permanent ceasefire is defined as a formal agreement between Israel and Hamas that explicitly states an end to hostilities without a specified end date (not a temporary pause). Netanyahu ceasing to be prime minister includes resignation, removal from office, electoral defeat, or any other means by which he no longer holds the position.
Resolution will be based on reputable news sources such as Reuters, AP, or official government statements.

Update 2025-10-04 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - If there is no formal agreement, a permanent ceasefire will be recognized after 3 months without fighting between Israel and Hamas; the war is considered ended at that 3-month mark. This supersedes the prior 6-month threshold.

I will consider the ceasefire permanent and war to have ended 6 months after fighting has stopped
Edit. I changed it to 3 months
@PoliticalEconomyPK IMO if both sides declare unequivocally that the ceasefire is permanent, then this should resolve NO unless it falls apart immediately. Waiting one month would be more than enough.
OTOH, there are scenarios where the conflict could be suspended, even for longer than six months, but with the "rights reserved" to continue fighting if, eg, finsl status talks break down. In that case I don't know what the resolution should be
@PoliticalEconomyPK my point isn't to bargain over the wait time - I'm actually a YES holder lol. I'm saying that "will the ceasefire hold" is a different and easier question from "does this arrangement count as 'permanent ceasefire'", and adding wait time doesn't help all that much for the latter.
@AhronMaline im not trying to bargain. The extra time is just to give me a clearer picure so that I can resolve it to the best of my abilities
Arb. This market has the direct opposite signal

@Samaritan we will obviously be waiting a while before the resolution so the outcome is completely clear
