In Gaza, Israel threatened to resume fighting after Hamas said it cannot recover more hostage remains without special equipment; Hamas returned two more bodies, nine in total, as US advisers said it remained committed to finding others. Donald Trump threatened to send federal troops to San Francisco; city and state leaders rejected the move. Also: the supreme court weighed Callais v Louisiana; South Korea issued a Cambodia travel ban; Nestlé will cut 16,000 jobs.
