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

However, a hot-mic incident captured Prabowo requesting Trump to arrange a call with his son Eric, both of whom hold positions at the Trump organization.

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

Here are several additional noteworthy errors:

Transplant Procedures and Everlasting Life

During a defense ceremony in Beijing in early autumn, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were recorded talking about organ transplants as a method for extending lifespan.

"Human organs can be repeatedly transplanted. The more you extend your life, the younger you become, and it's possible to even achieve immortality," the Russian translator was recorded stating.

Xi, who was not visible, answered in Chinese: "Experts forecast that in this century people may live to 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 experiencing ocean encroachment.

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

Noting that a migration discussion 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 the ocean reaching your home."

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

'Bigoted Woman'

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

Remaining connected to a broadcast microphone when he got into his vehicle, Brown was recorded stating: "That went terribly – they should not have placed me with that individual. Who thought of that? Ridiculous."

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

This incident received extensive coverage for weeks and Brown ultimately lost 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 France's leader Nicolas Sarkozy when their comments about Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a live microphone.

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

According to a version from a translator cited by Reuters, Obama responded: "You've had enough but I must work with him more often than you."

'Major League ***hole'

A classic hot-mic moment from then US presidential candidate 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 Labor Day rally and remarked, "There's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times."

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