Recently, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto believed he was a private conversation with American leader Donald Trump during Middle East peace talks in Egypt.

However, a hot-mic incident captured Prabowo asking Trump to organize a meeting with his son Eric, both of whom hold positions at the family business.

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

Here are five other memorable errors:

Organ Transplants and Immortality

At a military parade in Beijing this September, China's leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were overheard discussing organ replacement as a method for prolonging life.

"Vital organs can be continuously replaced. The longer you live, the more youthful you get, and you can even reach eternal life," Putin's interpreter was heard saying.

Xi, who was not visible, answered in Chinese: "Some predict that in this century humans may reach 150 years old."

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

Former Australian immigration minister Peter Dutton faced criticism in 2015 when he joked about the situation of residents in the Pacific facing rising sea levels.

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

Noting that a migration discussion was running on "Cape York time", Abbott replied: "We had a similar situation up in Port Moresby."

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

The comments provoked anger from Pacific Islands and environmentalists, while the opposition Labor party demanded Dutton to issue an apology.

'Bigoted Woman'

As Labour prime minister Gordon Brown was on the trail in 2010, he faced a constituent who questioned him on migration and the economic situation.

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

When questioned about she had said, he answered: "All topics, 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 Lies.'

Ex-American leader Barack Obama was in discussion at the G20 summit in Cannes in 2011 with then French president Nicolas Sarkozy when their comments about Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a live microphone.

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

Per a version from a French interpreter quoted 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 then US presidential candidate George W. Bush happened as he made a negative comment about a reporter from The New York Times.

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

Cheney answered: "Oh yeah, he is, big time."
