LONDON (AP) — Madonna has urged the pope to travel to Gaza and “bring your light to the children before it’s too late.” The superstar posted her appeal to the pontiff on social media Monday, saying her son Rocco’s birthday prompted her to make the post. Rocco turned 25 Monday.

The pop icon said the pontiff was "the only one of us who cannot be denied entry" into the territory.
