Polymarket Investigating Suspicious Trades on Israeli Election

Polymarket is investigating suspicious trades placed on the Israeli election just before polls closed Tuesday, with hundreds of new accounts betting on Netanyahu and Likud performing better than expected. The trades became profitable after exit polls showed Netanyahu's party won more seats than early reports suggested, with some accounts cashing out over $100,000 combined. Data analysis firms Polysights and Bubblemaps have also flagged the activity as suspicious; this follows previous insider trading cases on prediction markets involving Israeli military information and a US soldier.
