Israel and Indonesia normalize relations by...?
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: December 31, 2026 at about a 9% chance.
The field is extremely concentrated on a single outcome (December 31, 2026 at 9%) with no other candidate above 5%, reflecting a market that sees normalization as possible but not imminent; the biggest recent shift was the collapse of the June 30, 2026 candidate from 0% to effectively zero after its deadline passed, leaving only the year-end target as a live option.
📊 Base rate: Since Indonesia and Israel have never had formal diplomatic relations, the base rate for any normalization within a given year is near zero, making the current 9% odds for 2026 a significant but still low probability.
What's driving it
- • Indonesia's February 2025 signal of potential normalization (i24NEWS, Feb 25) provided a concrete diplomatic opening that likely boosted the December 2026 candidate.
- • The UN inquiry accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza (Crypto Briefing, Jun 23) creates a severe reputational barrier for any Muslim-majority nation normalizing ties, suppressing odds across all candidates.
- • A report that Trump requested Muslim leaders normalize ties with Israel if an Iran deal is reached (The Times of Israel, May 24) introduces a potential U.S.-driven catalyst, but no deal has materialized, leaving the market static.
Why the front-runners lead
- • December 31, 2026 leads because it is the only remaining deadline after June 30 passed, and it benefits from a long runway for diplomatic negotiations.
- • Indonesia's complex domestic politics (i24NEWS, Feb 25) and its 12 conditions for joining a Gaza force (mronline.org, Feb 19) show active engagement, keeping the door open for a year-end breakthrough.
- • The Jerusalem Post op-ed arguing for immediate normalization (Jun 7) reflects elite opinion pushing for ties, which could build momentum over the next five months.
Why it's still open
- • The field is open because no candidate exceeds 9%, meaning 91% of the probability mass is on 'no normalization by 2026', reflecting deep skepticism.
- • The UN genocide inquiry (Crypto Briefing, Jun 23) and Israeli public opposition to a two-state solution (Crypto Briefing, Jul 12) create a toxic political environment for any normalization deal.
- • Indonesia's 12 conditions for joining a Gaza force (mronline.org, Feb 19) include 'no normalization' as a precondition, directly contradicting the market's premise.
What to watch
- • If the U.S. brokers an Iran nuclear deal before year-end, Trump's reported request for normalization (The Times of Israel, May 24) could become a live diplomatic push, boosting the December 31 candidate.
- • Any formal announcement of Indonesia joining the international force in Gaza without dropping its 'no normalization' condition (mronline.org, Feb 19) would further suppress odds for all candidates.
- • A major shift in Israeli policy toward a two-state solution, as rejected by current polls (Crypto Briefing, Jul 12), would remove a key obstacle and could lift the December 31 candidate significantly.

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
The field is virtually nonexistent: only two candidates register at 1% each, and no one has broken 5%, making this the most open Democratic nomination race in modern history. The single biggest recent shift is the DNC's decision to put South Carolina first in the 2028 primary calendar (Axios, Jul 25), which could reshape candidate strategies and favor a different type of contender.

The field is moderately concentrated with Labour leading at 36%, but Reform UK and Conservative are close; the biggest recent shift is Reform UK overtaking the Conservatives for second place, as seen in the stated odds, though no headline directly explains this.

Republican Presidential Nominee 2028
The Republican nomination field is exceptionally fragmented, with no candidate above 5% and the top three sum to just 1% — a sign that the race is truly wide open and still in its earliest jockeying phase, despite a recent poll placing Senator JD Vance near the top of a generic primary ballot (USA Today, Jul 23).

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
Despite Newsom's commanding lead, the field is far from settled: the 20% 'Other' share and AOC/Ossoff's recent gains per Action Network (Jul 8) suggest a pool of anti-Newsom sentiment waiting for a viable alternative.
