World leaders will gather in New York this week for the U.N. General Assembly to discuss an unusual number of crises including the the growing threats of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

The 140 world leaders will also talk about the crisis in Ukraine and the deadlocked Iran nuclear program negotiations.

There is little hope that any significant resolutions may be arrived at within the five days of general debate, Reuters reported. But the Obama administration hopes to shore up support for its anti-ISIL and Ebola outbreak policies on the side lines.

U.S. officials plan to convene with its international allies to boost the anti-Islamic State military campaign the United States has launched in recent weeks.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced that the assembly aims to tackle the crises in the Middle East, Ukraine and Africa. The world is facing crisis from multiple fronts, Ban told reporters.

Ban said all these problems stem from ethnic, religious and tribal divisions and have prompted responses that have caused "sharp divisions within the international community."

In June, ISIL declared an Islamic caliphate in the Eastern Mediterranean or the Levant and has been carving out large territories in the region. This is the top priority among Western and Arab leaders, U.N. officials said.

The unrestrained sectarian violence of the Islamist group is responsible for unaccounted number of genocides, murders, beheadings and massacres of hundreds of civilians, ethnic groups and Iraqi and Syrian troops, Reuters reported.

Ban urged world leaders to work together to address governance failures in the region, which he said has become a breeding ground for terrorist groups.

The annual assembly is seen as an opportunity for U.S. President Barack Obama to enlist more allies into the 40-nation coalition that had stepped up measures against the Islamic State group in the past weeks. The United States has been leading the airstrikes against the terror group and has urged countries including France and Australia to send in fighter jets and bombers to strike Iraq, but not Syria.

The world leaders will also discuss the exponentially worsening Ebola outbreak that has devastated Sierra Leone, Liberia and adjoining countries in West Africa.

On Wednesday, President Obama will chair a high-level security council meeting that plans to suppress the outbreak that world leaders have come to consider as a "threat to international peace and security."

While the marathon speeches are going on, senior officials from the U.S., UK, Germany, France and China will meet with Iranian officials to discuss its nuclear program.

Reuters reported that diplomats from these world powers will curb sanctions against Iran in exchange for a deal to shut down its nuclear facilities.

Despite Iran's claims of using its facilities for peaceful purposes, Israel has intelligence that the facilities are producing nuclear warheads to be used against itself and the United States, according to various reports.

Other agenda on the U.N. assembly table includes talks on climate change which will lay out the blueprint for next year's environmental conference in Paris, the protracted wars in Libya, Syria, Mali, Ukraine, South Sudan, Israel, and U.N.'s on-going war on poverty.
