Weapons by palestinians are prohibited under the Oslo accord. Palestinians have never complied with Oslo.
Yes, armed struggle against Israel under the circumstances is a violation. The formation and training of a police force was to be approved by Israel.
Israelis never complied with Oslo.
And besides that, Oslo is invalid.
The legal rights of the inhabitants of occupied territory cannot be curtailed
by any agreement or other arrangement between the occupying power
and the authorities of the occupied territory. This is intended to prevent
national authorities from being put under pressure to make conces-
sions which might not be in the population’s best interests or weaken
its legal rights.

When Oslo expired the Palestinians passed laws stating that it was legal for Palestine to import and manufacture weapons. Also that the Palestinians have the right to bear arms.
According to International law Oslo has not expired and is still in existence, unless of course you want to dismantle the Palestinian framework of recognition in the UN, observer status at the UN and the signing of 15 conventions. All part of the framework of the Oslo Accords
A Paradox of Peacemaking: How Fayyad?s Unilateral Statehood Plan Undermines the Legal Foundations of Israeli-Palestinian Diplomacy
The only valid legal framework between the Israelis and the Palestinians remains the 1995 Interim Agreement, which represents the source of authority for the existence of the Palestinian governance and its component institutions. The Interim Agreement established that: “Neither side shall initiate or take any step that will change the status of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip pending the outcome of the Permanent Status negotiations.”
The very existence of the PA was part of the Oslo accord. If you claim Oslo invalid the so is the PA, which puts leadership back to the PLO, of which Hamas is not a member. It then makes Hamas's "election" and control of gaza illegal....etc., etc., putting Israel as the "authority" in both the WB and gaza.
Every agreement is a process, each side gives a little, small steps up but moving in the right direction. Remove a step, it all falls down.
You can't go from the 13rd floor to the 100th without building a good foundation, well planned floor and the step leading to the top. Negotiation is not an express elevator.
Israel has been trying but for Abbas to make an outrageous demand instead of what was already agreed, of course Israel would say no.
