The fact his number didn't move despite another blowout win shows the market already baked in his dominance. The only reason to hold off betting him now is timing, he's already priced at peak. But in terms of odds, yes, (still) justified.

The handover followed Israel's return on Friday of the bodies of 30 Palestinians to Gaza. That completed an exchange after militants earlier this week turned over remains of two hostages, a sign that the tense Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement was edging forward.
