New this morning:

• At a conservative conference, far-right firebrand Steve Bannon made a gesture that looked like a Nazi salute while encouraging the crowd to “Fight! Fight! Fight!” Elon Musk performed a similar salute last month at an inauguration rally for President Donald Trump: Take a deep dive into Musk’s Jewish problem. (Separately, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker warned in a speech that Hitler’s dictatorship “started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.”)
   
• The body of hostage Shiri Bibas was not returned to Israel on Thursday, the IDF said; instead, the remains of an unidentified person were provided in the swap as part of the ceasefire agreement. Confirmation of the deaths of Bibas and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir, has sparked a wave of fury and grief; It’s unclear how this switch will affect Saturday’s planned hostages-for-prisoners exchange.
   
• In our advice column, Bintel Brief, we contemplate: What to do when you’re misgendered on the phone — in part because almost no non-Jews are familiar with your name?
