Recently, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto believed he was 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 meeting with his son Eric, both of whom serve as executives at the Trump organization.

It represented only one in a string of gaffes made by world leaders when they assume they're off the record.

Here are five other memorable blunders:

Transplant Procedures and Immortality

During a defense ceremony in Beijing this September, China's leader Xi Jinping and Russia's head Vladimir Putin were recorded talking about organ transplants as a approach for prolonging life.

"Vital organs can be continuously transplanted. The more you extend your life, the more youthful you get, and you can even achieve immortality," the Russian translator was recorded stating.

Xi, who was off camera, answered in Chinese: "Some predict that in the current era people may live to 150 years old."

'Sea Rising at Your Door'

Former Australian border protection chief Peter Dutton came under fire in 2015 when he made light about the situation of people in the Pacific experiencing ocean encroachment.

Dutton was speaking to former PM Tony Abbott, who had recently come back from environmental talks with regional heads in Port Moresby.

Noting that a migration discussion was running on "delayed schedule", Abbott responded: "We had a bit of that up in Port Moresby."

Dutton commented: "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 opposition Labor party demanded Dutton to issue an apology.

'Prejudiced Voter'

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

Remaining connected to a broadcast microphone when he entered the car, Brown was recorded stating: "That went terribly – they should never have put me with that woman. Who thought of that? Absurd."

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

This incident dominated headlines for an extended period and Brown went on to lose the election.

'I Cannot Bear Netanyahu. He Lies.'

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

Sarkozy said: "I cannot bear Netanyahu. He deceives."

According to a account from a French interpreter quoted by Reuters, Obama replied: "You've had enough but I must work with him more often than you."

'Total ***hole'

A vintage hot-mic moment from then US presidential candidate George W. Bush occurred when 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 leaned over to Dick Cheney at a political event and said, "There's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times."

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