Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Madonna calls on Pope Leo XIV to visit Gaza before 'it's too late'
Caption: Madonna calls on Pope Leo XIV to visit Gaza before 'it's too late’. Taking to Instagram on Monday, the Queen of Pop issued an emotional plea to the leader of the Catholic Church, to travel to the Middle East in a bid to support the "innocent children" of the city. ”Most Holy Father, please go to Gaza and bring your light to the children before it's too late. As a mother, I cannot bear to watch their suffering.” ”The children of the world belong to everyone. You are the only one of us who cannot be denied entry. We need the humanitarian gates to be fully opened to save these innocent children. There is no more time. Please say you will go. Love, Madonna.” In the accompanying caption, Madonna noted that she was inspired to share the post because it was her son Rocco Ritchie's 25th birthday. The Material Girl star insisted she wasn't "taking sides" over the conflict. ”Politics Cannot affect Change. Only consciousness Can. Therefore I am Reaching out to a Man of God (sic). Today is my Son Rocco's birthday. I feel the best gift I can give to him as a Mother - is to ask everyone to do what they can to help save the innocent children caught in the crossfire in Gaza.” “I am not pointing fingers, placing blame or taking sides. Everyone is suffering. Including the mothers of the hostages. I pray that they are released as well. I am merely trying to do what I can to keep these children from dying of starvation.” Elsewhere in her message, Madonna shared that she has made donations to organisations including World Central Kitchen, Women Wage Peace, and Women of the Sun. Representatives for The Vatican have not yet responded to the Hung Up hitmaker's post. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
