According to Bloomberg, the prediction market platform Polymarket is investigating a series of timely and profitable trades that emerged during this week's Israeli elections.

This is the latest case in the prediction market that has raised concerns about insider trading, as Polymarket has previously faced extensive scrutiny from regulators and public opinion for its accurate predictions related to sports, the U.S. elections, and geopolitical events.
