Israel withdraws from Lebanon by July 31, 2026?
🗂 Part of event: Israel withdraws from Lebanon by...? →💡 What the odds say
The market puts this at about a 1% chance — almost no chance.
No money — just record your call and see if you were right. Yes is at 1% right now.
Despite the emergence of a deal framework and Lebanese army deployment in the south, the July 31 withdrawal deadline appears nearly impossible to meet, as the next round of talks is scheduled for August 4 and no withdrawal announcement has been made.
📊 Base rate: Omitted: no defensible historical base rate for Israeli withdrawal announcements by a fixed deadline could be grounded in the provided headlines.
What's driving it
- • The next round of talks between Lebanon and Israel is set for August 4 in Italy, after the market deadline, signaling that the withdrawal terms are not yet finalized (Reuters, Jul 22).
- • The Lebanese army is expanding its presence in the south under a deal, indicating a phased transition rather than a full withdrawal by July 31 (globalpost.com, Jul 25).
- • Lebanon's prime minister visited a shattered border village as the deal 'begins', suggesting implementation is in early stages (AP News, Jul 22).
- • President Aoun told Trump that an Israeli troop withdrawal 'is needed', confirming no such announcement has occurred yet (Reuters, Jul 21).
The case for YES
- • The expanding Lebanese army presence could be the precursor to a formal Israeli announcement of withdrawal, satisfying the resolution condition even if some troops remain.
- • Lebanon's agreement to align with the US and disarm Hezbollah might create the political cover for Israel to announce a pullout by the deadline (World Socialist Web Site, Jul 24).
- • The resolution only requires an announcement of withdrawal, not complete physical removal; a symbolic announcement could theoretically be made at the last minute.
The case for NO
- • The scheduled August 4 talks strongly imply that any comprehensive withdrawal arrangement will not be reached by July 31 (Reuters, Jul 22).
- • The deal is described as 'begins' and involves a gradual handover, making a full withdrawal announcement within the remaining six days implausible (AP News, Jul 22; globalpost.com, Jul 25).
- • Lebanon's president publicly stated that withdrawal 'is needed', reinforcing that the status quo lacks such an announcement (Reuters, Jul 21).
What to watch
- • Any official statement from Israel or Lebanon before July 31 about the status of ground forces could sharply move the odds; a positive announcement would boost Yes, while a denial or silence would cement No.
- • The August 4 talks in Italy (Reuters, Jul 22) are after the deadline, so they will not directly affect resolution but could influence longer-term expectations and secondary markets.
- • Continued reports of Lebanese army deployment in the south might be misread as progress toward withdrawal, but without a formal Israeli announcement, No remains dominant.

How it resolves
Settled on-chain by UMA's optimistic oracle: once an outcome is clear, anyone can propose the result, which then enters a challenge window where it can be disputed with evidence before it finalizes.

Resolution criteria
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Israel announces it has withdrawn all ground forces from Lebanon by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For this market to resolve to "Yes" it is sufficient that Israel announces its ground forces have withdrawn from all Lebanese territory, regardless of if some Lebanese territory remains under their control or ground incursions by Israeli forces continue. However, an announcement of a planned or future withdrawal will not suffice. The Shebaa Farms area is considered Israeli territory for the purposes of this market and will not be considered toward its resolution. The primary resolution source for this market will be information from the Israeli government, however an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming that Israel has withdrawn may also be used.
ⓘ A market settles under its own written rules, which can lag what looks decided in the news — so the price may not move to 100% the moment an outcome seems obvious.

DOGE Up or Down - Daily
Despite a cascade of bearish headlines—including a 25% weekly plunge in early June and a down close on July 11—the market now assigns an 80% probability to DOGE closing up on the daily resolution, suggesting traders are betting on a sharp reversal or a catalyst not captured in the provided news.

Polymarket or Kalshi?
This market is a pure sentiment gauge with no resolution, so the 72% Polymarket lead reflects a persistent narrative advantage from its on-chain identity and aggressive bonus campaigns, but Kalshi's recent $500 referral push and a Washington Post controversy show it can still capture attention and shift the conversation.

Will over 100,000 people be conceived with the help of advanced embryo selection techniques by 2030?
The market sees advanced embryo selection as still niche and ethically fraught, but recent coverage of genetic optimization startups and IVF's expanding role in family planning suggests the technology is gaining momentum, making the 100,000-conception threshold plausible if regulatory and adoption barriers fall.
