A US air force member has died after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in Washington on Sunday, in protest against Israel's war on Gaza.

The man, identified by US media as Aaron Bushnell, was rushed to hospital with life threatening injuries but later succumbed to his wounds.

An official at Washington's Metropolitan Police Department confirmed to Middle East Eye that the 25-year-old from San Antonio, Texas, had died.

In a video that he live streamed on Twitch, Bushnell is seen walking down the street, stating: "I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonisers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal."

He then placed his phone down to film outside the driveway of the Israeli embassy in the US capital, and proceeded to pour liquid on himself.
