This week, Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto thought he was having a confidential discussion with US President Donald Trump at the Gaza peace summit in Egypt.

Instead, a hot-mic incident revealed Prabowo requesting Trump to arrange a call with his son Eric, both of whom serve as executives at the Trump organization.

This was just one in a series of gaffes committed by international figures when they assume no one can hear them.

Below are five other memorable blunders:

Transplant Procedures and Everlasting Life

At a military parade in Beijing in early autumn, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were overheard 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 not visible, answered in Chinese: "Some predict that in this century humans may reach 150 years old."

'Sea Rising at Your Door'

Ex-Australia border protection chief Peter Dutton came under fire in 2015 when he made light about the situation of residents in the Pacific experiencing ocean encroachment.

Dutton was conversing with then-prime minister Tony Abbott, who had just returned from environmental talks with Pacific Island leaders in Port Moresby.

Noting that a meeting about refugees was running on "delayed schedule", Abbott replied: "There was a bit of that up in Port Moresby."

Dutton commented: "Time doesn't mean anything when you're about to have water lapping at your door."

These remarks sparked outrage from Pacific Islands and environmentalists, while the political opponents demanded Dutton to issue an apology.

'Bigoted Woman'

While serving as UK PM Gordon Brown was on the trail in 2010, he encountered a constituent who questioned him on migration and the economy.

Still wired up 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 woman. Whose idea was that? Absurd."

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

This incident dominated headlines for an extended period and Brown went on to lose the political race.

'I Can't Stand Netanyahu. He's a Liar.'

Ex-American leader Barack Obama was in conversation at the international conference in Cannes in 2011 with then French president Nicolas Sarkozy when their remarks about Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a active recording device.

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

Per a version from a French interpreter quoted by Reuters, Obama replied: "You're fed up with him but I must work with him frequently than you."

'Total ***hole'

A classic recording incident from then US presidential candidate George W. Bush occurred when he made a negative comment about a reporter from The New York Times.

The GOP candidate was didn't realize that a microphone was live when he turned to Dick Cheney at a political event and remarked, "There's Adam Clymer, complete jerk from the New York Times."

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