``State members have decided to withdraw their ambassadors from Syria and ask at the same time for all the ambassadors of the Syrian regime to leave immediately,'' a GCC statement said.
The statement condemned ``mass slaughter against the unarmed Syrian people'' during the nearly 11-month crackdown by President Bashar Al-Assad's regime.
