Recently, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto thought he was having a private conversation with American leader Donald Trump at the Gaza peace summit in Egypt.

However, a hot-mic incident revealed Prabowo requesting Trump to organize a call with his son Eric, both of whom hold positions at the family business.

Below are several additional memorable errors:

Transplant Procedures and Immortality

At a military parade in Beijing in early autumn, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were recorded discussing organ transplants as a method for prolonging life.

"Vital organs can be repeatedly replaced. The more you extend your life, the younger you become, and it's possible to even reach eternal life," Putin's interpreter was heard saying.

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

'Water Lapping at Your Door'

Ex-Australia border protection chief Peter Dutton came under fire in 2015 when he made light about the situation of residents in the Pacific experiencing rising sea levels.

Dutton was speaking to then-prime minister Tony Abbott, who had just returned from environmental 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."

These remarks sparked outrage from Pacific Islands and environmentalists, while the opposition Labor party called for Dutton to issue an apology.

According to a version from a translator quoted by Reuters, Obama responded: "You've had enough but I must work 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 journalist from The New York Times.

Cheney responded: "Absolutely, that's true, definitely."
