This market resolves based on the first individual to assume the role in the first government formed after the 2026 Knesset elections, explicitly excluding any interim or caretaker ministers appointed prior to or outside of that government. Participants should note the strict deadline of February 28, 2027; if government formation is delayed past this cutoff, the market resolves to a specific fallback outcome regardless of who eventually takes office. Additionally, complex exceptional clauses govern restructured ministries: determining which office holds the primary responsibilities relies on a consensus of reporting, and if responsibilities split across multiple offices, an alphabetical tiebreaker based on the appointees' full names determines the winner.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve to the individual who first assumes office as Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs in the first government formed following the 2026 Knesset elections. To count for resolution, the individual’s ministership must be approved by the Knesset in a vote of confidence in that government or a subsequent vote approving the individual’s appointment to that government. Any interim or caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs will not count toward the resolution of this market. Once a qualifying individual assumes office, subsequent replacements will not affect resolution. The individual must be appointed as “Minister of Foreign Affairs” or be appointed to the ministerial position confirmed to be its successor position, retaining its primary responsibilities, by a consensus of credible reporting. Positions that assume only secondary responsibilities will not qualify as a successor. If the primary portfolio responsibilities previously assigned to Minister of Foreign Affairs are attributable to multiple successor positions, this market will resolve to the individual appointed to one of the successor positions whose full name comes first in alphabetical order. If no such Minister of Foreign Affairs assumes office by February 28, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No Next Minister by Feb 28”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Government of Israel; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Market explained

This market measures whether Yair Lapid will be the first person to assume office as Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs in the initial government formed after the 2026 Knesset elections.

How it resolves

The market resolves Yes if Yair Lapid first assumes office as Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs (or an approved successor position retaining primary responsibilities) in the first government formed following the 2026 Knesset elections, confirmed via a Knesset vote of confidence or approval vote. Interim or caretaker ministers do not count, and later replacements do not alter the outcome. The market resolves No if another individual assumes the qualifying office first. If primary responsibilities are split across multiple successor positions, resolution defaults to the individual whose full name comes first alphabetically. The market resolves to 'No Next Minister by Feb 28' if no qualifying minister assumes office by February 28, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. Resolution is determined by official information from the Government of Israel or a consensus of credible reporting.
