This week, Indonesian leader Prabowo Subianto believed he was a confidential discussion with American leader Donald Trump at the Gaza peace summit in Egypt.

However, a hot-mic incident revealed Prabowo asking Trump to arrange a meeting with his son Eric, 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 noteworthy errors:

Transplant Procedures and Everlasting Life

At a military parade in Beijing this September, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were recorded talking about organ replacement as a approach for extending lifespan.

"Human organs can be repeatedly transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and it's possible to even reach eternal life," Putin's interpreter was recorded stating.

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

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

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

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

Noting that a meeting about refugees was running on "delayed schedule", Abbott responded: "There was a similar situation up in Port Moresby."

Dutton commented: "Time doesn't mean anything 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 apologise.

'Bigoted Woman'

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

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

This incident received extensive coverage for an extended period and Brown went on to lose the political race.

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