The Queen of Pop kicked of her tour on Thursday in Tel Aviv. She brought some dark, occult imagery and plenty of eye-popping outfits for the first show.
She also took the time out to address the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and make a plea for peace.
“I chose to start my world tour in Israel for a very specific and important reason,” said Madonna. “As you know, the MiddleEast and all the conflicts that occur here and that have been occurring for thousands of years, they have to stop… You can’t be a fan of mine and not want peace in the world.”
“We are all sons and daughters of the universe and we are all human beings,” she added. “And whether we are Muslim, Jew, Christian, Buddhist, atheist, gay, straight, black, white, Asian… we are all human beings. We all bleed the same color. We all want to love and be loved.”
The next stop on her tour is Abu Dhabi on June 3rd and 4th.
