A man has set himself on fire outside of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC.

Authorities responded to the embassy around 1 p.m. on Sunday and found the man with burn injuries, the Metropolitan Police Department told DailyMail.com.

He is in critical condition and was taken to the hospital by DC Fire and EMS with critical and life-threatening injuries.'

A spokesperson from the Secret Service told DailyMail.com, 'The U.S. Secret Service, Uniformed Division responded to the 3400 Block of International Drive, NW, DC regarding an individual that was experiencing a possible medical / mental health emergency.'

**SNIP**

The Metropolitan Police Department's Explosive Ordnance Disposal was called to the scene in reference to a suspicious vehicle that may be connected to the individual.

Video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, showed first responders on the scene outside of the embassy.

The investigation is ongoing.

A similar incident occurred in December when a pro-Palestine protestor set themselves ablaze outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta.

The city's police chief, Darin Schierbaum, described the incident as an 'extreme act of political protest,' and said a Palestinian flag was recovered from the scene.

At least two people were injured in the act of self-immolation, including a security guard who attempted to intervene.

Gaza kidnaps hundreds of people and demands ransom.

How the heck does anybody support that?

Build a man a fire and you warm him for a day.

Set a man on fire and you warm him for the rest of his life...............

IF he survives there should be charges for setting an illegal fire, starting a fire without a permit, not having proper fire equipment present, not following proper air pollution requirements, burning a human body without fulfilling legal requirements, disturbing the peace and what ever other charges I missed or have no knowledge of in the locality where these numerous crimes were committed. if TRUMP had done this there would have been charges before the smoke cleared.

I sort of look at these types like the hunger striking people. Let them go.

Their choice.

Not taking up precious hospital resources.

I am honing this perspective to address those who sit stand or stop traffic.

lol

Will be interesting to learn, when info is released in a few years, whether the imolator is actually a Palestinian, other Muslim, or a generic brainwashed American collegian.

This is only an example of what illegals signing up for military duty will do… their loyalties are not with America to defend her. How many muslim personnel are in the military? My goodness this country is really screwed! Bet you anything he was looking forward to the 72 virgins. The only thing awaiting him is more fire!

Yes, like the A holes who stop traffic on the highways to protest against global warming climate change.
They really need to step up their game
