Recently, Indonesia's leader Prabowo Subianto thought he was having a private conversation with US President Donald Trump at the Gaza peace summit in Egypt.

Instead, a live microphone situation revealed Prabowo asking Trump to arrange a call with his son Eric, both of whom hold positions at the Trump organization.

It represented only one in a string of gaffes made by international figures thinking no one can hear them.

Here are several additional noteworthy blunders:

Transplant Procedures and Everlasting Life

At a military parade in Beijing this September, China's leader 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 longer you live, the younger you become, and you can even reach eternal life," Putin's interpreter was recorded stating.

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

'Sea Rising 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 ocean encroachment.

Dutton was speaking to then-prime minister Tony Abbott, who had just returned from climate change talks with Pacific Island leaders in Port Moresby.

Observing how a meeting about refugees was running on "Cape York time", Abbott replied: "There was a bit of that up in Port Moresby."

Dutton added: "Schedules become irrelevant when you're about to have water lapping at your door."

These remarks provoked anger from Pacific Islands and climate activists, while the political opponents demanded Dutton to apologise.

'Bigoted Woman'

While serving as UK PM Gordon Brown was campaigning in 2010, he encountered a constituent who questioned him on immigration and the economic situation.

Still wired up to a broadcast microphone when he got into his vehicle, Brown was heard saying: "That was a disaster – they should not have placed me with that woman. Whose idea was that? Absurd."

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

The scandal received extensive coverage for an extended period and Brown ultimately lost the political race.

'I Cannot Bear Netanyahu. He Lies.'

Former US president Barack Obama was in conversation at the international conference in Cannes in 2011 with France's leader Nicolas Sarkozy when their remarks about Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a active recording device.

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

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

'Total ***hole'

A vintage 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 didn't realize that a microphone was live when he leaned over to Dick Cheney at a Labor Day rally and remarked, "There's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times."

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