 So you are watching the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you major news developments from around the world, our headlines, thousands protests mounting housing crisis and gentrification in the Netherlands, El Salvador witnesses renewed protests against President Naib Boukele, Palestinians face increasing Israeli settler violence's olive harvest progress, and Venezuela condemns illegal kidnapping of diplomatic envoy Alex Saab. In our first story, 8,000 people had to protest against the housing crisis in the Netherlands on October 17th. Organized by a residential revolt campaign, the mass action raised the slogan housing for people and not profit. Protesters denounced the lack of affordable housing, home demolitions and gentrification. Sunday's demonstration was held in the city of Rotterdam. Among the protesters were residents of the Tweebozburg social housing area. 537 homes are in the process of being demolished by the Westia Corporation. The company has claimed that the houses are outdated and need renovation. However, only 137 units will be returned, retained as regulated or social rental homes. As the protests continued, there were reports of police violence including beating with batons. The protests in Rotterdam were part of the national residential protests in the country. Around 15,000 people attended a similar mass protest in the capital of Amsterdam last month. Homelessness in the Netherlands has doubled in the past decade to include almost 40,000 people. Meanwhile, an estimated 90,000 homes in the Netherlands awakened. Campaigners are demanding accessible, affordable and secure housing. They have also demanded purchase protections, housing for vulnerable groups and the abolition of the ban on squatting. In our next story, El Salvador saw renewed protests against right-wing President Naib Bukkeli on October 17. Around 4,000 people gathered in the capital to condemn the government's drift towards authoritarianism. The protest was called by a group of 34 organizations as part of the popular resistance bloc. Among them were feminist and human rights groups and political parties. Bukkeli received widespread criticism after his ruling party voted to dismiss Supreme Court judges in May. The replacement judges were considered to be more in favor of the president. The Supreme Court then ruled that Bukkeli could seek a second consecutive term. Congress has also voted to remove judges older than 60 years of age or those who have served for over 30 years. Meanwhile, the president is pushing a controversial constitutional reform plan. Mass protests also broke out after the government announced that Bitcoin would be recognized as legal tender. People fear that the volatility of the currency could impact their incomes. Moreover, many people already live in poverty and only one-third of the population uses the internet. Protesters once again raised signs that that Bitcoin is fraud on Sunday. They also denounced pension reforms and the blocking of files on criminal proceedings for war crimes. We now go to Palestine where Israeli settlers have carried out at least 58 attacks on Palestinian villages since the start of the olive harvest this month. These have included the beatings of Palestinian farmers and uprooting the destruction of trees. Palestinian authority official Ghassan Daghlas told Al Jazeera that the violence was planned and not spontaneous. According to the Red Cross, settlers have destroyed over 9,300 olive trees since August 2020. Olive trees are a crucial source of livelihood for 10,000 Palestinian families. The areas most targeted by settler violence are located near Nablus and Salphith in the occupied West Bank. Israeli settlers uprooted 900 apricot and olive saplings and stole olive crops in Sebastia north of Nablus on October 12. Since the end of August 2021, at least 1,800 trees have been destroyed and 22 Palestinians have been injured. At least 12 Palestinians were injured after settlers set fire to olive groves near Nablus on October 16. The Hamude family was attacked with rocks on October 15 and 16, leaving four people injured. According to the BDS movement, 800,000 olive trees have been uprooted since 1967. And finally, in Venezuela, hundreds gathered in Caracas on October 17 that Sunday to protest the kidnapping of diplomatic envoy Alex Saab. He was extradited to the United States on October 16 after being detained in Cap Verde for 491 days. Saab was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2019 on unsubstantiated charges of money laundering. He was arrested in Cap Verde in 2020 at the request of the U.S. government in violation of international law. At that time, he was on a diplomatic mission to Iran to negotiate trade deals for food and medicines. Saab was also subjected to torture by the authorities there during his detention. Despite a court order and appeals from organizations including the UNHCR, he did not receive proper medical care. Following the news of his extradition, the Venezuelan authorities suspended the ongoing talks in Mexico. The government has held three rounds of dialogue with the right-wing opposition factions so far. However, Representative Jorge Rodriguez stated on Saturday that the government will not attend talks scheduled for October 17. He said it was an act of protest against the brutal aggression against Saab.
