This isn't just about the war but just very basic language and definitions of those terms. You could've literally just searched for "prisoner definition" and "hostage definition". Literally less than a minute of work if that somehow was unclear in t he first place. Bad faith questions like his are very common disinformation tactics to paint a false equivalence in order to push certain narratives.
Comment on In the Hamas/Israel war, why does Palestine have "hostages" but Israel has "prisoners"?
