توقع: Which countries will recognize Israel by December 31?

Platform comparison

Market context

Syria's formal diplomatic recognition of Israel represents one of the lowest-probability outcomes in the current Middle Eastern political landscape. The Assad regime has maintained a state of war with Israel since 1973, with no direct bilateral negotiations or peace agreements in place. Syrian territory remains partially occupied by Israeli forces in the Golan Heights, a territorial dispute that has persisted for five decades and forms a core obstacle to any normalisation pathway.

Historical precedent offers limited encouragement for recognition within the two-year window. The Abraham Accords (2020) saw the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain establish formal ties with Israel, followed by Sudan and Morocco, but these nations either lacked direct territorial disputes with Israel or faced distinct geopolitical incentives. Syria's position differs fundamentally: the Assad regime depends heavily on Iranian and Russian support, both of which have strategic interests in maintaining regional tension with Israel. Any recognition would risk destabilising Assad's coalition at a moment when his government remains internationally isolated and economically fragile following the civil war.

Catalysts that could shift the probability would centre on either a comprehensive Israeli-Syrian peace settlement brokered by major powers—an outcome with minimal current diplomatic momentum—or a dramatic shift in Assad's regional alignment away from Tehran. The normalisation of Syria's Arab League membership in May 2023 signalled modest diplomatic rehabilitation, yet this has not translated into Israeli-Syrian engagement. No credible negotiations or confidence-building measures between the two governments have been reported as of late 2024, making formal recognition by end-2026 a remote prospect.

FAQ

Can I bet on individual matches?

Yes, Polymarket lists every major Premier League / Champions League / World Cup match as its own market. Liquidity varies — top matches like El Clásico or a semi-final often have six-figure pools, lower-league games closer to three-figure.

What are live sports odds on Polymarket?

Some top-tier matches stay open during play — you can trade the half-time probability in the 70th minute. Polymarket mid-prices update second-by-second; any frontend mirroring the order book shows the same movement.

Which sports markets are available?

Football (soccer) dominates — Champions League, World Cup, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga — followed by NFL, NBA, tennis Grand Slams, Formula 1, boxing/MMA. Resolution via official league source confirmation.

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
