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

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

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

Here are five other noteworthy blunders:

Transplant Procedures and Immortality

During a defense ceremony in Beijing in early autumn, China's leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were recorded discussing organ replacement as a approach for prolonging life.

"Human organs can be repeatedly transplanted. The more you extend your life, the younger you become, and you can even achieve immortality," Putin's interpreter was heard saying.

Xi, who was not visible, responded in Chinese: "Some predict that in the current era people may live to 150 years old."

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

Ex-Australia border protection chief Peter Dutton faced criticism in 2015 when he made light about the situation of residents in the Pacific facing rising sea levels.

Dutton was speaking to former PM 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 responded: "We had a similar situation up in Port Moresby."

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

These remarks provoked anger from Pacific Islands and environmentalists, while the political opponents called for Dutton to apologise.

'Prejudiced Voter'

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

Still wired up to a broadcast microphone when he entered the car, Brown was heard saying: "That was a disaster – they should not have placed me with that individual. Whose idea was that? Ridiculous."

Asked what she had said, he replied: "All topics, she was just a prejudiced person."

This incident received extensive coverage for weeks and Brown went on to lose the election.

'I Cannot Bear Netanyahu. He's a Liar.'

Former US president Barack Obama was in conversation at the G20 summit in Cannes in 2011 with France's leader 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."

Per a account from a translator quoted by Reuters, Obama replied: "You've had enough 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 disparaging remark about a reporter from The New York Times.

The Republican presidential nominee was didn't realize that a recording device was active when he turned to Dick Cheney at a political event and said, "There's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times."

Cheney answered: "Absolutely, he is, big time."
