Madonna urges the pope to visit Gaza “before it’s too late”

Madonna urged Pope Leo XIV to visit Gaza and bring her “light to children before it was too late”.

The American queen of pop shared her plea on social networks, saying that the pontiff was “the only one not to be refused entry”.

His intervention came while the United Kingdom, EU, Australia, Canada and Japan have published a statement saying that “famine takes place before our eyes” and urged the action to “reverse famine”.

“The Holy Father, go to Gaza and bring your light to the children before it is too late,” posted Madonna on Instagram. “As a mother, I cannot bear to look at their suffering.

“The children of the world belong to everyone.

“You are the only one of us not to be denied entry.”

Israel has continued to deny that there is famine in Gaza and accused the United Nations agencies of not having made aid at the borders and delivering it.

The prayer singer like a singer: “We need the humanitarian doors to be completely open to save these innocent children.”

She signed by saying: “There is no more time. Please, say you go. Like, Madonna.”

In July, the new Pope renewed his call to a ceasefire in Gaza after three people devoted themselves to the Catholic church of Gaza City were killed in an Israeli strike.

According to PA News, he said: “I appeal to the international community to observe humanitarian law and respect the obligation to protect civilians as well as the prohibition of collective punishment, the blind use of the force and the forced displacement of the populations.”

Madonna – who released her long -term remix album Veronica Electronica last month – delivered passionate speeches on stage on Gaza since the start of the war.

This includes by happening at the London O2 in 2023, when she said to the fans: “It breaks my heart to see children suffering, adolescents suffering, elderly people suffering – all this is heartbreaking, I am sure that you agree.

“But even if our hearts are broken, our minds cannot be broken.”

She urged fans to bring “Light and Love” to the world – both individually and collectively, via words and actions – in order to “bring peace to the Middle East” and beyond.

In the legend of her latest online article, she noted how it was the anniversary of her son Rocco and “the best gift I can offer her as a mother – is to ask everyone to do what they can to save innocent children caught in the cross fire in Gaza.”

The star, who also asked for donations from three different organizations, continued: “I do not point my finger, I blame myself or do not take sides.

“Everyone suffers. Including mothers of hostages. I pray so that they are also released.”

Madonna’s comments came as a U2 Bono leader – as well as the rest of his group comrades – also published a statement allowing fans to know where they are on the issue.

While condemning the actions of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas, the Irish singer proposed: “Our group is united with the people of Palestine who really seek a path to peace and coexistence with Israel and with their legitimate and legitimate request.

“We are in solidarity with the remaining hostages and plead that someone rational negotiates their release.”

Hamas killed more than 1,200 people and took 251 hostages in its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Israel’s response to Gaza killed at least 61,599 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health managed by Hamas, whose UN considers reliable.

Israel faced growing criticism during the 22 -month war with Hamas, with experts supported by the UN also warning the course of generalized famine in the besieged territory.

On Tuesday, the Ministry of Health said that five other people had died of malnutrition, bringing the total number of deaths to 227, including 103 children.

Last week, the United Nations humanitarian agency said that the amount of aid entering Gaza continued to be “well below the required minimum”. He said he continued to see obstacles and delays while trying to collect the help of border areas controlled by the Israeli.
