“A US Air Force serviceman who set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington has died,” the statement said.

Earlier it became known that an American soldier tried to set himself on fire at the Israeli Embassy in Washington to protest against “genocide” in the Gaza Strip; he was seriously injured.

As specified, the incident occurred against the backdrop of attempts by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to obtain cabinet approval for a military operation in the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip.
