In 2021, Israel's Supreme Court ruled to allow prisoners to request private dentists for treatment while in prison, and on the state expense.
The decision drew criticism from Palestinian group, Hamas, which accused Israeli leaders of seeking to double the suffering of Palestinian detainees "to break down their will and lower their morale".
Palestinian figures indicate that there are nearly 4,900 Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails, including 160 minors and 31 women.
