Recently, Indonesian 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 captured Prabowo asking Trump to organize a call with his son Don Jr, who hold positions at the Trump organization.

This was just one in a series of missteps made by world leaders when they assume they're off the record.

Here are five other memorable blunders:

Organ Transplants and Everlasting Life

At a military parade in Beijing in early autumn, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russia's head Vladimir Putin were recorded discussing organ transplants as a method for extending lifespan.

"Vital organs can be repeatedly replaced. The more you extend your life, the more youthful you get, and you can even reach eternal life," the Russian translator was recorded stating.

Xi, who was off camera, responded in Chinese: "Experts forecast 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 facing ocean encroachment.

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

Observing how a meeting about refugees was running on "delayed schedule", Abbott replied: "We had a bit of that up in Port Moresby."

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

The comments provoked anger from Pacific Islands and climate activists, while the political opponents called for Dutton to issue an apology.

'Prejudiced Voter'

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

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

When questioned about she had said, he replied: "Everything, she was just a bigoted woman."

This incident dominated headlines for weeks and Brown ultimately lost the political race.

'I Cannot Bear Netanyahu. He Lies.'

Ex-American leader Barack Obama was in discussion at the G20 summit in Cannes in 2011 with then French president Nicolas Sarkozy when their remarks about Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu were picked up by a live microphone.

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

Per a version from a French interpreter quoted by Reuters, Obama replied: "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 occurred when he made a negative comment about a reporter from The New York Times.

The Republican presidential nominee was didn't realize that a microphone was live when he leaned over to Dick Cheney at a political event and remarked, "That's Adam Clymer, major league asshole from the New York Times."

Cheney answered: "Absolutely, he is, big time."
