The scene of the self-immolation outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC
The Foreign Ministry said that the man was not known to embassy staff who were not harmed in the incident.
The details of the incident remain unclear, including whether the act of self-immolation was a protest against Israel or motivated by another factor. Embassy staff reported that the man was muttering to himself before self-immolating.
In early December, a demonstrator waving a Palestinian flag set himself on fire outside the Israeli consulate in Georgia. Reports from the incident indicate that he sustained serious injuries, and a security guard who attempted to intervene was also hurt.
