This week, Indonesia's leader Prabowo Subianto believed he was a private conversation with US President Donald Trump during Middle East peace talks in Egypt.

Instead, a live microphone situation captured Prabowo requesting Trump to organize a call with his son Don Jr, who hold positions at the family business.

It represented only one in a series of gaffes made by international figures thinking they're off the record.

Here are several additional memorable blunders:

Transplant Procedures and Everlasting Life

At a military parade in Beijing in early autumn, China's leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were recorded talking about organ transplants as a approach for extending lifespan.

"Vital organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the more youthful you get, and you can even achieve immortality," Putin's interpreter was heard saying.

Xi, who was off camera, responded in Chinese: "Some predict that in this century humans may reach 150 years old."

'Sea Rising at Your Door'

Ex-Australia immigration minister Peter Dutton faced criticism in 2015 when he joked about the situation of people in the Pacific experiencing rising sea levels.

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

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

Dutton commented: "Schedules become irrelevant when you're about to have the ocean reaching your home."

These remarks provoked anger from Pacific Islands and environmentalists, while the opposition Labor party demanded Dutton to issue an apology.

'Bigoted Woman'

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

Still wired up to a Sky news microphone when he entered the car, Brown was heard saying: "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: "Everything, she was just a prejudiced person."

This incident received extensive coverage 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 discussion at the international conference in Cannes in 2011 with France's leader Nicolas Sarkozy when their comments about Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu were captured by a live microphone.

Sarkozy stated: "I can't stand Netanyahu. He's a liar."

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

'Major League ***hole'

A classic recording incident from former White House hopeful George W. Bush happened as he made a disparaging remark about a reporter from The New York Times.

The Republican presidential nominee was didn't realize that a recording device was active when he leaned over to Dick Cheney at a political event and remarked, "There's Adam Clymer, complete jerk from the New York Times."

Cheney responded: "Absolutely, that's true, big time."
