Excerpt from :

...... Nevertheless, military means must sometimes be employed to alter otherwise intractable situations. A significant part of the original Oslo agreements involved the building up of a Palestinian security forces and joint cooperation with Israeli forces. The belief was that such institutions afforded Palestinians direct control over their own affairs. Unfortunately, Hamas used the agreement as a way of building up its own well-equipped anti-Israeli force. The Roadmap tried to address this development by reorganizing the multiple Palestinian security forces into a single set of three services reporting directly to a Palestinian minister of state. These restructured forces would then gradually resume real security responsibilities in cooperation with Israeli forces and U.S. security officials.

By bringing the security forces back under the supervision and control of Israel and the Quartet i.e. The United States, United Nations, European Union, and Russia, the Roadmap envisioned direct intervention when necessary. It was the uncontrolled Palestinian military build-up that led directly to the explosion of the Second Intifada and the resultant devastating attacks on Israeli security personnel
