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

Instead, a hot-mic incident revealed Prabowo requesting 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 string of gaffes made by world leaders when they assume they're off the record.

Here are several additional memorable errors:

Organ Transplants and Immortality

During a defense ceremony in Beijing this September, China's leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were overheard discussing organ transplants as a method for prolonging life.

"Human organs can be continuously transplanted. The more you extend your life, the more youthful you get, and you can even reach eternal life," Putin's interpreter was heard saying.

Xi, who was off camera, responded in Chinese: "Experts forecast that in the current era humans 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 residents in the Pacific facing ocean encroachment.

Dutton was conversing with then-prime minister Tony Abbott, who had recently come back from climate change talks with regional heads in Port Moresby.

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

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

These remarks sparked outrage from regional nations and environmentalists, while the political opponents demanded Dutton to issue an apology.

'Prejudiced Voter'

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

Still wired up to a broadcast microphone when he got into his vehicle, Brown was recorded stating: "That was a disaster – they should never have put me with that woman. Whose idea was that? Absurd."

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

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

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

Former US president Barack Obama was in conversation at the G20 summit in Cannes in 2011 with France's leader Nicolas Sarkozy when their remarks about Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu were picked up by a active recording device.

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

Per a account from a French interpreter quoted by Reuters, Obama replied: "You're fed up with him but I have to deal with him frequently than you."

'Total ***hole'

A classic recording incident from then US presidential candidate George W. Bush happened as he made a negative comment about a reporter from The New York Times.

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

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