On September 19, 2010, NIF published new funding guidelines on its website. For the first time, the organization declared that groups that violate core principles, including working "to deny the right of the Jewish people to sovereign self-determination within Israel." However, since the initial report, a number of NIF officials have made confusing and contradictory public statements, suggesting that the guidelines are not new, and that they will not be implemented to reverse the anti-Israel NGO activities resulting from NIFs funding policies. In addition, no timetable or implementation mechanism have been published.
