The PA on Sunday released a Hamas leader who was arrested late last month for his statements about the PA during a rally in the Gaza Strip, reported Radio Israel. 

Abdel Aziz Rantissi was arrested for his "criticisms and threats" against the Palestinian Authority.  

During a large rally in the refugee camp of Jabalia in the Gaza Strip, Rantissi had declared that his movement was opposed to the Jordanian-Egyptian peace plan and shouted out, while waving his Kalashnikov assault rifle: "This is our path." – Albawaba.com
