This week, Indonesian leader Prabowo Subianto believed he was a confidential discussion with American leader Donald Trump during Middle East peace talks in Egypt.

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

This was just one in a string of gaffes made by international figures thinking no one can hear them.

Below are several additional noteworthy errors:

Organ Transplants and Immortality

At a military parade in Beijing this September, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russia's head Vladimir Putin were recorded talking about organ replacement as a approach for prolonging life.

"Vital 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 heard saying.

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

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

Ex-Australia border protection chief Peter Dutton came under fire in 2015 when he made light about the plight of residents in the Pacific facing ocean encroachment.

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

Noting that a meeting about refugees was running on "delayed schedule", Abbott replied: "There was a bit of that up in Port Moresby."

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

The comments provoked anger from regional nations and climate activists, while the political opponents demanded Dutton to issue an apology.

'Bigoted Woman'

While serving as UK PM Gordon Brown was on the trail in 2010, he faced a voter who questioned him on migration and the economic situation.

Remaining connected to a Sky news microphone when he got into his vehicle, Brown was recorded stating: "That went terribly – they should not have placed me with that woman. Whose idea was that? Absurd."

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

This incident dominated headlines for an extended period and Brown ultimately lost the political race.

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

Former US president Barack Obama was in discussion at the international conference 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 stated: "I cannot bear Netanyahu. He's a liar."

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

'Total ***hole'

A classic hot-mic moment from former White House hopeful George W. Bush happened as he made a negative comment about a journalist from The New York Times.

The GOP candidate was unaware that a recording device was active when he turned to Dick Cheney at a Labor Day rally and said, "There's Adam Clymer, complete jerk from the New York Times."

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