Polymarket pricing for an Israel–Hezbollah ceasefire by Apr 30, 2026 surged ~25pp, likely on reports of new Israel–Lebanon talks (AP) and coordinated government statements on Lebanon.

The market rose 3pp to 69% over 24h, likely reflecting a one‑day timing shift from the April 21 twin contract, despite a US government blockade action and media signals questioning near‑term talks.

The market jumped 10.5pp to 49%, likely on reports of last‑ditch engagement via Pakistan and U.S./European official statements during a narrowing ceasefire window.
