There is a lime stone ridge that runs through Jerusalem. Mt. Moriah where the Jewish temple was built is on this ridge. Out side the walls of Jerusalem in the time of Christ there was another small mountain (Hill) called Mt Calvary. This is where Jesus Christ was crucified. Jerusalem is in Israel so yes Calvary is in Israel.

If the question is trying to tease out whether Calvary is in Israel or the Palestinian Territories, it depends on whose definitions you use. According to Jerusalem Law of 1980 in Israel, the entire city of Jerusalem has been annexed to Israel as one, united capital city. So, since Calvary is in Jerusalem, it is in Israel. The International Community has held that the Jerusalem Law is illegal and has maintained that Eastern Jerusalem is part of the Palestinian Territories. Under this definition, Calvary is in the Palestinian Territories since it is on the far side of the ceasefire-line dividing west from east.

ADDITIONAL: From the beginning of Abraham's relationship with God we see an eternal covenant made by God with Abraham. Part of that covenant was that the land of Canaan was to be a permenant possession of the chosen people, Israel. Down through the centuries Israel has been removed from the land for disobeying God, but that does not negate the promise of God. Israel still has the right to the land. Man made laws are flimsy things when comparred to God's laws and promises. Different countries have claimed israel in the past, but they were only squatters. Man can bring all the arguments he wants to satisfy his desires, but what God says stands. Genesis 13:14-15, " .......Lift up your eyes now and look from the place where you are---- northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to your descendants forever."

There may be a place called that in Egypt but I guess you're talking about the well known "original" which is in Jerusalem. All over the world there are memorials to the crucifixion, often in church grounds, and these are called "Calvaries" (in he local language.
