The first thing that must happen before the temple is built, The Temple Mount must be cleared of the existing Islamic mosque. Jerusalem is considered an International City, according to Israel’s 1948 UN charter, not belonging to Israel. Destroying that mosque would likely bring, not only every Islamic nation, but some member nations of the UN, to attack Israel and wipe her off the face of the earth.
The UN has a historic bias against Israel.
So I think Israel has a fervent goal to build the temple, but at this point, the obstacles are too great.
