This week, Indonesia's leader Prabowo Subianto believed he was a private conversation with US President Donald Trump at the Gaza peace summit in Egypt.

Instead, a hot-mic incident revealed Prabowo asking Trump to organize a call with his son Don Jr, who hold positions at the Trump organization.

It represented only one in a series of gaffes committed by international figures thinking no one can hear them.

Below are five other memorable errors:

Transplant Procedures and Everlasting Life

During a defense ceremony in Beijing this September, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russia's head Vladimir Putin were recorded talking about organ replacement as a method for extending lifespan.

"Human organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the more youthful you get, and you can even achieve immortality," the Russian translator was recorded stating.

Xi, who was off camera, responded in Chinese: "Experts forecast that in the current era humans may live to 150 years old."

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

Former Australian border protection chief Peter Dutton faced criticism in 2015 when he joked about the situation of residents in the Pacific facing ocean encroachment.

Dutton was conversing with former PM Tony Abbott, who had recently come back from climate change talks with regional heads in Port Moresby.

Observing how a meeting about refugees was running on "delayed schedule", Abbott replied: "There was a similar situation up in Port Moresby."

Dutton commented: "Schedules become irrelevant when you're about to have water lapping at your door."

These remarks provoked anger from regional nations and climate activists, while the political opponents demanded Dutton to apologise.

'Prejudiced Voter'

As Labour prime minister Gordon Brown was on the trail in 2010, he encountered a constituent who questioned him on immigration and the economy.

Remaining connected to a Sky news microphone when he got into his vehicle, Brown was recorded stating: "That was a disaster – they should never have put me with that individual. Who thought of that? Absurd."

Asked what she had said, he answered: "All topics, she was just a bigoted woman."

This incident dominated headlines for weeks and Brown went on to lose the political race.

'I Can't Stand Netanyahu. He Lies.'

Former US president Barack Obama was in discussion at the international conference in Cannes in 2011 with France's leader Nicolas Sarkozy when their remarks about Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a active recording device.

Sarkozy stated: "I can't stand Netanyahu. He deceives."

According to a account from a French interpreter cited by Reuters, Obama responded: "You're fed up with him but I must work with him frequently than you."

'Major League ***hole'

A vintage hot-mic moment from then US presidential candidate George W. Bush occurred when he made a disparaging remark about a journalist from The New York Times.

The GOP candidate was unaware that a recording device was active when he turned to Dick Cheney at a political event and remarked, "There's Adam Clymer, complete jerk from the New York Times."

Cheney answered: "Absolutely, that's true, definitely."
