He said Trump has already instructed the State Department to "immediately" start to carry out the needed arrangments.
He then recited a short Jewish blessing from the Bible in Hebrew, as the audience responded with another round of standing ovation.
Addressing the long-stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, whose leaders will not meet with Pence in the wake of the White House Jerusalem statement, Pence said the U.S. is "strongly urging the Palestinian leadership to return to the table."
"Peace can only come through dialogue," he said.
He noted that "the United States will never compromise the safety and security of the state of Israel," adding that any peace deal "must guarantee Israel's ability to defend itself."
He said he has arrived in Israel after visiting Egypt and Jordan over the weekend, where he met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah a-Sisi and King Abdullah II.
He said he discussed with the Arab leaders "remarkable transformation that is taking place across the Middle East today," without elaborating.
Pence also addressed the nuclear deal with Iran, referring the 2017 deal between Iran and the six world powers, as "a disaster."
He reiterated the recently-adopted White House stance that Washington will no longer certify the deal. "Unless the Iran nuclear deal is fixed, President Trump has said the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal immediately," he said.
