<p>A man was hospitalized after setting himself on fire outside of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, according to officials.</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/DCPoliceDept/status/1761842908649468372" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In posts to X</a>, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said it &#8220;responded to the 3500 block of International Drive, NW, at roughly 1 p.m. ET, to assist the U.S. Secret Service after an individual set themselves on fire in front of an embassy in the block.&#8221;</p>

<p>An adult male was transported by DC Fire and EMS to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition. MPD is working with the Secret Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives  to investigate the incident, MPD said.</p>
<p>MPD’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) has also been requested to the scene in reference to a suspicious vehicle that may be connected to the individual, the department said, adding that there &#8220;remains an active investigation at this time.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Israeli Embassy also provided a <a href="https://twitter.com/gekaminsky/status/1761842423213207582" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> to The Washington Examiner.</p>
<p>&#8220;On Sunday, 2/25, at around 1 PM, a man set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC,&#8221; the embassy said. &#8220;The man was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The man is unknown. No Embassy staff were injured and are safe.&#8221;</p>
<p>Officials did not immediately comment on a potential motive, but the incident comes as Israel fights against Hamas in the Gaza Strip following the group&#8217;s terrorist attacks on Israeli soil in October that killed an estimated 1,200 people.</p>
<p>There has been <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4488153-us-worries-grow-over-netanyahus-expected-rafah-invasion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">some tension</a> between the Biden administration and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about plans for an offensive in Gaza&#8217;s southern city of Rafah, where it is estimated that more than half the strip&#8217;s 2.3 million population have gathered during the conflict.</p>
<p>Netanyahu <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/benjamin-netanyahu-israel-prime-minister-face-the-nation-transcript-02-25-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told CBS</a> on Sunday a potential deal to secure the release of hostages could delay the Rafah operation, but he insisted that &#8220;total victory&#8221; over Hamas is Israel&#8217;s ultimate objective.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve set three war goals. The first is to release the hostages. The second is to destroy Hamas. And the third is to ensure that Gaza does not pose a threat to Israel in the future. And obviously, the three are intertwined,&#8221; he said on &#8220;Face the Nation.&#8221;</p>
