Market context

Israel has already shut its airspace to civilian flights on multiple occasions during the 2025–2026 Israel-Iran conflict, most notably in March 2026 and again in late February 2026 following joint US-Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. In those instances, Ben Gurion Airport closed entirely, El Al suspended all operations, and international carriers rerouted flights to Cyprus or Greece. Yet by June 2026, a ceasefire has reduced immediate fears of missile attacks, and Israeli airspace is now open again, though security remains volatile and many airlines still avoid the region[3]. This historical pattern of temporary closures followed by reopening explains why the current crowd-implied probability of a major closure by May 2026 sits at 0%: traders see the current calm as a stabilising factor, not a precursor to renewed suspension.

The key catalysts for a trader to monitor are official announcements from Israel’s aviation authority regarding retaliatory strikes, scheduled Iranian missile tests, and any escalation in Hezbollah or Houthi activity linked to the broader conflict. A recent AP report confirms that nightly assaults continue in the skies above the region, with Iran launching hundreds of drones and missiles in retaliation for Israeli airstrikes on Tehran and nuclear facilities[1]. Traders should also watch for updates from Safe Airspace, which currently advises caution across Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon, and for any new advisories from OPSGROUP on flight risk[2]. If Iran escalates further or if US involvement deepens, the risk of a sudden, broad closure could rise sharply, overturning the current 0% probability.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
