This week, Indonesian leader Prabowo Subianto believed he was a private conversation with American leader Donald Trump at the Gaza peace summit in Egypt.

Instead, a live microphone situation captured Prabowo requesting Trump to arrange a meeting with his son Don Jr, both of whom serve as executives at the family business.

It represented only one in a series of gaffes made by international figures when they assume no one can hear them.

Below are five other memorable errors:

Transplant Procedures and Immortality

At a military parade in Beijing in early autumn, China's leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were overheard talking about organ transplants as a approach for extending lifespan.

"Human organs can be repeatedly transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and it's possible to even reach eternal life," Putin's interpreter was recorded stating.

Xi, who was not visible, answered in Chinese: "Experts forecast that in the current era humans may reach 150 years old."

'Sea Rising at Your Door'

Former Australian border protection chief Peter Dutton came under fire in 2015 when he made light about the situation of residents in the Pacific facing rising sea levels.

Dutton was speaking to former PM Tony Abbott, who had recently come back from climate change talks with Pacific Island leaders in Port Moresby.

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

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

These remarks provoked anger from regional nations and environmentalists, while the opposition Labor party called for Dutton to issue an apology.

'Bigoted Woman'

While serving as UK PM Gordon Brown was campaigning in 2010, he faced a voter who questioned him on immigration and the economic situation.

Remaining connected to a Sky news microphone when he got into his vehicle, Brown was heard saying: "That went terribly – they should never have put me with that individual. Whose idea was that? Absurd."

Asked what she had said, he replied: "All topics, she was just a prejudiced person."

This incident received extensive coverage for an extended period and Brown ultimately lost the election.

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

Ex-American leader Barack Obama was in discussion at the G20 summit in Cannes in 2011 with France's leader Nicolas Sarkozy when their comments about Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a active recording device.

Sarkozy said: "I cannot bear Netanyahu. He deceives."

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

'Total ***hole'

A classic hot-mic moment from former White House hopeful George W. Bush happened as he made a disparaging remark about a reporter from The New York Times.

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

Cheney responded: "Oh yeah, that's true, definitely."
