91% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2026-11-06.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 97% — With voting scheduled for late October 2026, only an unprecedented 80-MK vote to delay under wartime emergency can halt them now. Under Basic Law: The Knesset, postponing an election during the campaign month requires an 80-seat supermajority rarely achieved. Logistical preparations and ballots are already locked in three weeks out from the statutory late-October polling date. A massive multi-front regional war eruption that directly closes polling stations nationwide is the only credible spoiler.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 80% — This hinges on whether the already-scheduled October 2026 election proceeds on time without last-minute delay or postponement. Israeli elections are constitutionally mandated by this date and the process is already underway per the context given. Israeli elections have historically occurred on schedule or even early, rarely delayed beyond legal deadlines. Main risk is a security crisis or coalition maneuvering causing a short delay, but base rate for on-time national elections in Israel is high.

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 93% — The decisive factor is whether an acute security escalation forces an emergency postponement in the next three weeks. Israel’s election administration and parties are already in the final campaign period, making a routine delay highly disruptive. Israeli elections normally proceed despite conflict; postponement would require exceptional security or legal action before late October. A major regional war, widespread attacks on polling sites, or a government-backed emergency order would sharply lower the odds.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 82% — Whether the scheduled late-Oct vote proceeds without last-minute delay. Knesset term from 1 Nov 2022 ends with elections due by late Oct 2026; only emergency legislation could slip it. Israel rarely postpones once a date is set this close; 2019-22 repeats were early dissolutions, not delays. A major attack or sudden coalition collapse before polling day is the main thing that would shift odds.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 88% — The Knesset is already in its pre-election recess with voting day set, so only a war-scale shock stops it. Israel's election law fixes the date once the Knesset dissolves; the campaign is underway and polling stations are being readied. The only realistic derailment is a national emergency — a full-scale war or mass-casualty attack — triggering postponement under the Basic Law. Precedent: Israeli elections have been delayed only in 1973's Yom Kippur War; even 2023-24's Gaza war left the scheduled 2022 cycle intact.

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 94% — Israel's election is already scheduled for late October 2026; only a war or legal crisis could delay it. The Knesset election is set for late October 2026 per the coalition agreement; no party has moved to dissolve early or postpone. Postponement requires a supermajority Knesset vote or a state of emergency declaration—neither is currently being pursued by Netanyahu's coalition. Historical base rate: Israel has postponed elections only once (1973 Yom Kippur War); absent a comparable existential shock, elections proceed on schedule.
