JAKARTA - pop icon Madonna asked Pope Leo XIV directly to come to the Gaza Strip and urged him to "give support to children before it's too late" amid Israel's continuing deadly attacks.
"Greece, go to Gaza and bring your love to the children before it's too late. As a mother, I can't bear to see their suffering. Children in the world belong to everyone," he wrote on X on Monday (11/8) reported by ANTARA from Anadolu.
"You are the only one of us who can get in there. We hope the humanitarian gates are fully opened to save these innocent children. There is no time left. Please say you are leaving. With love, Madonna," Madonna wrote.
He said politics cannot bring change and only heat can do it. "Therefore, I beg you, O servants of God," he said.
In celebration of her son's birthday, Madonna said: "I feel the best gift I can give him as a mother is asking everyone to do whatever they can to save innocent children who are caught in a shootout in Gaza. I am not pointing my finger, blaming, or side by side. Everyone is suffering."
