Typing this from my iPhone so expect typos. I expected a proper interview, I don't think making someone squirm is what makes a good interview. One can sit down with Dick Cheney and call him an evil fascist pig and you might make him squirm, that doesn't make it a good interview. Snow failed to take into account any of Regevs points, let's say for instance Hamas is firing rockets near these civilian centers, what does he expect Israel to do? In those instances he should have been asking how Israel is choosing their targets and whether they are aware of the civilians nearby and how do they account for that in their targeting.
As far as the talking point goes, personally I'm all for Israel sitting down and talking with Hamas . That said there are political realities that must be dealt with, formal negotiations with Hamas would serve to legitimize them and their actions in the minds of Israel. In effect, rewarding Hamas for firing rockets into Israel. If direct talks were to occur between both sides Israel would have to get something out of it, such as a renouncing of the use of violence by Hamas. Otherwise, Israel has no incentive to change the status quo and weaken its political position.
