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

However, a live microphone situation revealed Prabowo requesting Trump to organize a call with his son Eric, both of whom hold positions at the Trump organization.

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

Below are several additional memorable blunders:

Transplant Procedures and Immortality

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

"Human organs can be repeatedly transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and it's possible to even achieve immortality," Putin's interpreter 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."

'Sea Rising at Your Door'

Ex-Australia immigration minister Peter Dutton came under fire in 2015 when he made light about the situation of residents in the Pacific experiencing rising sea levels.

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

Noting that a migration discussion was running on "Cape York time", Abbott responded: "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."

The comments provoked anger from Pacific Islands and environmentalists, while the political opponents demanded Dutton to apologise.

'Prejudiced Voter'

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

Remaining connected to a Sky news microphone when he entered the car, Brown was heard saying: "That went terribly – they should never have put me with that individual. Who thought of that? Ridiculous."

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

The scandal dominated headlines for an extended period and Brown ultimately lost the election.

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

Ex-American leader Barack Obama was in conversation at the G20 summit in Cannes in 2011 with then French president Nicolas Sarkozy when their remarks about Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a live microphone.

Sarkozy said: "I cannot bear Netanyahu. He's a liar."

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

'Major League ***hole'

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

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

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