About This Event
On October 8, an agreement on an initial ceasefire (Phase 1) was announced, constituting a halt in fighting, a partial Israeli pullback to a “yellow line,” prisoner swaps, expanded aid, and the release of hostages. A second phase of the deal, yet to be negotiated, is expected to address further Israeli withdrawal, Hamas’s disarmament, and the establishment of new security and governance arrangements in Gaza.

What the contract measures
The contract is titled "Israel x Hamas Ceasefire Phase II by...?" and is listed under Politics on Polymarket [1]. The saved event text says it "will resolve to "Yes" if an official agreement for the second phase of the" ceasefire is reached, but the excerpt is cut off before the rest of the resolution wording [1]. The market title shortens this to "Israel x Hamas Ceasefire Phase II by December 31?" [1]. The source describes the second phase as one "yet to be negotiated" that is expected to address further Israeli withdrawal, Hamas's disarmament, and new security and governance arrangements in Gaza [1]. The title's December 31 wording should not be treated as the full rule. The listed end time is 2027-01-01T04:59:00.000Z [1], which is later than December 31. The saved excerpt does not explain this difference.
Reading the snapshot
The provider observation time is 2026-10-13T00:00:05.902Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-13T02:22:43.718Z [1]. These are the times of the saved record. They do not confirm current prices. In that snapshot, the Yes outcome was priced at 0.155 and the No outcome at 0.845 [1]. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. The two prices sum to 1.00 in this record, but the record does not show how much could be traded at either price. The market status is recorded as active [1].
Coverage is limited to one market from one event. The record reports one total market, one included market, and no partial sample [1]. The provider notes state that all saved markets for this event are included, but this does not establish that every possible real-world outcome is listed [1]. No other platform's contract appears in this record, so no cross-platform comparison is made.
What remains uncertain
The excerpt is truncated, so the complete resolution criteria, including how an "official agreement" is determined, are not available here. The gap between the December 31 title and the 2027-01-01 listed end time is not explained in the evidence. The record does not show trading volume, number of traders, or reasons for the price level. It also contains no information about events after the observation time. Readers should check the full contract rules at the source before relying on the wording.

Saved Oct 13, 2026 UTCOverview
This contract belongs to a Polymarket event titled "Israel x Hamas Ceasefire Phase II by...?" in the Politics category [1]. The provider's description says an agreement on an initial ceasefire, referred to as Phase 1, was announced on October 8. That phase involved a halt in fighting, a partial Israeli pullback to what the source calls a "yellow line," prisoner swaps, expanded aid, and the release of hostages [1]. The second phase is described as not yet negotiated. It is expected to address further Israeli withdrawal, Hamas's disarmament, and new security and governance arrangements in Gaza [1]. The single market in this saved event asks whether an official agreement for that second phase will be reached by the end of the listed period. The provider states that the market resolves to "Yes" if an official second-phase agreement is reached [1]. The market title refers to December 31, while the listed end time is 2027-01-01 at 04:59 UTC [1]. That listed end time is a contract closing time. It does not mean any agreement is scheduled or expected on that date. The contract is a yes or no question about a future diplomatic step, so its prices reflect market activity at the time of each snapshot. They are not verified probabilities of an agreement.
Historical Context
An earlier arrangement is documented separately. Wikipedia describes a hostages-and-prisoners exchange and armistice between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip that took effect from 19 January to 18 March 2025, during the Gaza war, and that included eight rounds of hostage-and-prisoner exchanges [2]. The supplied sources do not state whether that earlier truce is connected to the October Phase 1 agreement described in the Polymarket event, so the two should not be treated as the same arrangement based on this evidence [1][2].
Why It Matters
The contract measures whether a second phase of the Gaza arrangement is formally agreed, according to the provider's resolution rule [1]. The provider describes that second phase as covering Israeli withdrawal, Hamas disarmament, and security and governance structures in Gaza, all of which remain unnegotiated in the source's account [1]. Because the outcome depends on an official agreement rather than on continued fighting or informal talks, the contract isolates one defined diplomatic milestone.
