For an explanation why Carlson is probably crazy, see the post:
For an explanation about the equation of Islam with Idolatry see what I wrote in the post: The Avoda Zara Worshipers of Iran Are Currently Suffering From an Intense Drought. Let’s Get Things Right This Time and Pray for their Downfall.
To quote https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/423418
Anti-Israel media personality Tucker Carlson sparked controversy after claiming that Israel’s war is allegedly driven by a goal of destroying the Al-Aqsa Mosque and building the Third Temple in its place.
The article also informs us that according to TuQatar Carlson it is the Chabad movement that is pushing these goals.
TuQatar Carlson is a poor journalist. The Chabad movement believes in requirements that don’t exist today in order to rebuild the Temple. It is the disciples of the Vilna Gaon that believe it is desirable that either Trump or Israel destroys the Temple Mount Mosques as a rectification for the Biblical sin of the spies. It is the disciples of the Vilna Gaon that believe that the Temple will be built before the restoration of the Davidic Monarchy.

See the article: Did Maran, Rabbi Avraham Y. Kook also follow the Kol Hator Approach to the Temple Mount and the Temple? for a thorough explanation.
