He hasn't backed down from this position. He is just saying that he regrets the timing of his statement. This seems reasonable.

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, apologized to the state's Jewish Democratic Caucus on Saturday for comments he made after an attack on a synagogue in March, which he tied to Israel's actions in the Middle East.

"My comments may have been misconstrued to justify something I did not mean to justify," El-Sayed told reporters after he addressed the caucus at the Michigan Democratic Nominating Convention in Lansing, Michigan. "To anyone who feels like my comments might have been hurtful, I'm really sorry. That was not my intention."

Doesn't sound like it to me. The Jewish Democratic Caucus forced him to apologize for (correctly) linking support for Zionism to blowback against a Zionist Synagogue.
