Java get current time in Israel
java, timezone
Solution
You're setting the time zone in your calendar, but you should be setting it in your `DateFormat`. Additionally, you should be using `Asia/Jerusalem` as the time zone name. You don't need a `Calendar` at all - just `new Date()` gives the current instant:
DateFormat timeFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm");
timeFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Jerusalem"));
String curTime = timeFormat.format(new Date());
You should note that the time zone in Jerusalem is particularly hard to predict (it fluctuates a lot) so if the time zone data source that your JVM uses is out of date, it may be inaccurate.
