I think that's quite a decent statement. If they're referring themselves for an independent investigation then I wouldn't expect any advance apologies as I imagine that could lead to accusations of trying to influence the outcome.

Mealy-mouthed. It really isn't too soon to apologise to the Jewish attendees for the failure to anticipate the possibility, that there would be speech or behaviour that they might reasonably construe as hostile towards them.
