Madonna has called on Pope Leo to travel to Gaza amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis, asking him to "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,” Madonna wrote in an Instagram post on Monday.

“Politics Cannot affect Change. Only consciousness Can. Therefore I am Reaching out to a Man of God,” Madonna wrote in the caption of her post.

    Why would the Pope have any greater sway in Gaza than Madonna? Perhaps she should be the solution she seeks in others?

      The pope has more ‘fans’ than Madonna. Do you seriously think that Madonna has as much political influence as the head of the Catholic Church?

      Agreed.

      She also mentioned politics and there’s this:

      The previous leader of the Catholic Church, late Pope Francis, maintained daily contact with Gaza City’s Holy Family Church before his death, the parish priest of the region’s only Catholic church told ABC News after his death in April.
