There’s nothing that indicates that Israel is going to remove or desecrate the Dome of the Rock. In fact - by Israeli LAW (we’re talking its OWN LAW) they are absolutely committed to PROTECTING ALL RELIGIOUS SITES - Christian, Muslim or Jew. The Temple Mount is considered to be for ALL THREE - Christian, Jew and Muslim.
Now, just recently the religious Jews asked for permission to build a “synagogue” on the Temple Mount, and something like that is possible (technically) without touching the Dome of the Rock. However the political situation right now is that no one in the Israeli government would even touch that - because of the on-going Oslo Accords (for the last twenty years).
BESIDES ... the indication in the Bible is that a Temple will be built on only part of the Temple Mount and other parts of it (namely the Dome of the Rock) will stand side-by-side with it - both being there at the same time.
