This week, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto thought he was having a confidential discussion with American leader Donald Trump at the Gaza peace summit in Egypt.

Instead, a live microphone situation revealed Prabowo asking Trump to organize a call with his son Don Jr, who serve as executives at the Trump organization.

It represented only one in a string of gaffes committed by international figures when they assume they're off the record.

Below are five other noteworthy blunders:

Transplant Procedures and Immortality

During a defense ceremony in Beijing in early autumn, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russia's head Vladimir Putin were overheard talking about organ transplants as a method for prolonging life.

"Vital organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and you can even reach eternal life," Putin's interpreter was heard saying.

Xi, who was not visible, answered in Chinese: "Experts forecast that in this century humans may live to 150 years old."

'Sea Rising at Your Door'

Ex-Australia border protection chief Peter Dutton faced criticism in 2015 when he joked about the plight of people in the Pacific experiencing rising sea levels.

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

Observing how a migration discussion was running on "delayed schedule", Abbott replied: "There was a bit of that up in Port Moresby."

Dutton commented: "Schedules become irrelevant when you're about to have the ocean reaching your home."

The comments provoked anger from regional nations and climate activists, while the political opponents demanded Dutton to issue an apology.

'Bigoted Woman'

As Labour prime minister Gordon Brown was campaigning in 2010, he encountered a voter who challenged him on immigration and the economy.

Still wired up to a broadcast microphone when he entered the car, Brown was recorded stating: "That went terribly – they should never have put me with that individual. Who thought of that? Absurd."

When questioned about she had said, he answered: "Everything, she was just a prejudiced person."

This incident received extensive coverage for weeks and Brown ultimately lost the election.

'I Cannot Bear 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 comments about Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a live microphone.

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

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

'Total ***hole'

A classic 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 microphone was live when he leaned over to Dick Cheney at a Labor Day rally and said, "There's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times."

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