Recently, Indonesian leader 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 revealed Prabowo requesting Trump to organize a meeting with his son Don Jr, who serve as executives at the Trump organization.

This was just one in a string of gaffes committed by world leaders when they assume no one can hear them.

Here are several additional memorable blunders:

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 extending lifespan.

"Vital organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the more youthful you get, and it's possible to even achieve immortality," the Russian translator was heard saying.

Xi, who was off camera, responded in Chinese: "Experts forecast that in this century humans may live to 150 years old."

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

Ex-Australia border protection chief Peter Dutton faced criticism in 2015 when he joked about the plight of residents in the Pacific experiencing ocean encroachment.

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

Noting that a migration discussion was running on "Cape York time", Abbott replied: "We had a similar situation up in Port Moresby."

Dutton commented: "Time doesn't mean anything when you're about to have water lapping at your door."

The comments sparked outrage from regional nations and environmentalists, while the political opponents called for Dutton to issue an apology.

'Bigoted Woman'

While serving as UK PM Gordon Brown was on the trail in 2010, he encountered a constituent who challenged him on migration and the economy.

Remaining connected 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. Who thought of that? Absurd."

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

The scandal dominated headlines for weeks and Brown ultimately lost the election.

'I Cannot Bear Netanyahu. He Lies.'

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

According to a account from a translator quoted by Reuters, Obama replied: "You've had enough but I have to deal with him frequently than you."

'Major League ***hole'

A classic hot-mic moment from former White House hopeful 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, "That's Adam Clymer, complete jerk from the New York Times."

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