What did he say?
He didn't retract anything or express regret (because there was nothing to retract or regret). He did explain what he meant.
So, as I understand, in the classical meaning, that is an apology. But in the contemporary meaning, it is not.

edit: He also expressed sympathy. Or empathy. I suck at telling the difference.
An apology acknowledges the wrong, why it was wrong, and especially a pledge to not repeat it.
He did none of those things, especially the last one.
It's easy! Sympathy is for when you've had a similar experience and have felt the feelings the other party feels. Empathy is when you haven't felt the same feelings, but still feel for the other party.
