Recently, Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto believed he was a confidential discussion with US President Donald Trump at the Gaza peace summit in Egypt.

Instead, a hot-mic incident revealed Prabowo asking Trump to organize a meeting with his son Don Jr, both of whom hold positions at the family business.

This was just one in a series of missteps committed by international figures when they assume they're off the record.

Below 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 discussing organ replacement as a approach for extending lifespan.

"Human organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and it's possible to even reach eternal life," the Russian translator was recorded stating.

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

'Sea Rising at Your Door'

Former Australian 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 speaking to former PM Tony Abbott, who had recently come back from climate change talks with regional heads in Port Moresby.

Noting that a meeting about refugees 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."

These remarks sparked outrage from regional nations and environmentalists, while the opposition Labor party called for Dutton to issue an apology.

'Prejudiced Voter'

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

Remaining connected to a Sky news microphone when he got into his vehicle, Brown was heard saying: "That went terribly – they should never have put me with that woman. Whose idea was that? Absurd."

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

This incident dominated headlines for weeks and Brown ultimately lost the election.

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

Former US president Barack Obama was in discussion at the G20 summit in Cannes in 2011 with then French president Nicolas Sarkozy when their comments about Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu were picked up by a live microphone.

Sarkozy stated: "I can't stand Netanyahu. He's a liar."

Per a version from a French interpreter cited by Reuters, Obama responded: "You've had enough but I have to deal with him frequently than you."

'Total ***hole'

A classic hot-mic moment from former White House hopeful 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 remarked, "That's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times."

Cheney responded: "Oh yeah, that's true, definitely."
