US Democratic Senator John Kerry and Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni stand in front of remains of rockets launched from the nearby Gaza Strip during a visit to a police station in the southern Israeli town of Sderot on February 19, 2009. The 2004 presidential candidate who now chairs the Senate's foreign relations committee later made a rare visit to the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, but stressed this did not reflect a change of policy towards the territory's Islamist rulers listed by Washington as a terror group.
