JAKARTA - Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has urged the elected president of the United States (US), Joe Biden, to cancel what is called President Donald Trump's solution, the "deal of the century".

Haniyeh asked the Biden government to revoke US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the embassy to the holy city.

Trump's "deal of the century" refers to Jerusalem as the "indivisible capital of Israel" and recognizes Israeli sovereignty over large parts of the West Bank.

Trump's plan, which drew a storm of condemnation from the Palestinian people, called for the creation of a Palestinian state in the form of islands linked by bridges and tunnels.

Haniyeh urged Biden to "rectify the direction of the US's unjust policy towards our (Palestinian) people which makes the US a partner (for Israel) in oppression and aggression."

Hamas leaders will call on the new US government to "respect the will of the Palestinian people and their democratic choices ... and to refrain from policies that pressure the people and regional states to normalize relations with the (Israeli) occupation."

Big US media calculated, Joe Biden, 77, was announced as the 46th US President after defeating Trump in this year's presidential election.
