Protests do work. The reason that protests work is because they carry an inherent threat, that a group of people X care enough about situation Y to do Z act. Self-immolation is one of the absolute most extreme forms of protests, which carries an inherent message that people are willing to do a massive amount to upset the status quo if it continues.

I don't think Self-immolation is a good thing, there are definitely better pathways to getting change, but in martyring himself, he's put a huge slant against the IDF.
